Jhn15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.
Jhn15:2 He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.
Jhn15:3 You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
Jhn15:4 Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.
Jhn15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.
Jhn15:6 Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
Jhn15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
Jhn15:8 My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.
Jhn15:9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love.
Jhn15:10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Jhn15:11 I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
Jhn15:12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Jhn15:13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
Jhn15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Jhn15:15 I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father.
Jhn15:16 You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name.
Jhn15:17 I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
Jhn15:18 "If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.
Jhn15:19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world-- therefore the world hates you.
Jhn15:20 Remember the word that I said to you, 'Servants are not greater than their master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
Jhn15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.
Jhn15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Jhn15:23 Whoever hates me hates my Father also.
Jhn15:24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not have sin. But now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.
Jhn15:25 It was to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'
Jhn15:26 "When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf.
Jhn15:27 You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.
