John 15:1 |
I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. |
John 15:2 |
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes it away; and every [branch] that bears fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit. |
John 15:3 |
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. |
John 15:4 |
Abide in Me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither [can] you unless you abide in Me. |
John 15:5 |
I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. |
John 15:6 |
If one does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is dried up; and they gather them and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned. |
John 15:7 |
If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. |
John 15:8 |
In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and [so] you will become My disciples. |
John 15:9 |
As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. |
John 15:10 |
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love. |
John 15:11 |
These things I have spoken to you that My joy may be in you and [that] your joy may be made full. |
John 15:12 |
This is My commandment, that you love one another even as I have loved you. |
John 15:13 |
No one has greater love than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. |
John 15:14 |
You are My friends if you do what I command you. |
John 15:15 |
No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all the things which I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. |
John 15:16 |
You did not choose Me, but I chose you, and I set you that you should go forth and bear fruit and [that] your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He may give you. |
John 15:17 |
These things I command you that you may love one another. |
John 15:18 |
If the world hates you, know that it has hated Me before you. |
John 15:19 |
If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. |
John 15:20 |
Remember the word which I said to you, A slave is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also; if they have kept My word, they will keep yours also. |
John 15:21 |
But all these things they will do to you because of My name, because they do not know Him who sent Me. |
John 15:22 |
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. |
John 15:23 |
He who hates Me hates My Father also. |
John 15:24 |
If I did not do among them the works which no one else has done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father. |
John 15:25 |
But [it is so] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, "They hated Me without cause." |
John 15:26 |
But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of reality, who proceeds from the Father, He will testify concerning Me; |
John 15:27 |
And you testify also, because from the beginning you have been with Me. |
