<I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.>
|
|
2
|
<Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.>
|
|
3
|
<Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.>
|
|
4
|
<Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.>
|
|
5
|
<I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.>
|
|
6
|
<If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.>
|
|
7
|
<If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.>
|
|
8
|
<Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.>
|
|
9
|
<As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.>
|
|
10
|
<If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.>
|
|
11
|
<These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.>
|
|
12
|
<This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.>
|
|
13
|
<Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.>
|
|
14
|
<Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.>
|
|
15
|
<Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.>
|
|
16
|
<Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.>
|
|
17
|
<These things I command you, that ye love one another.>
|
|
18
|
<If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.>
|
|
19
|
<If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.>
|
|
20
|
<Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.>
|
|
21
|
<But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.>
|
|
22
|
<If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.>
|
|
23
|
<He that hateth me hateth my Father also.>
|
|
24
|
<If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.>
|
|
25
|
<But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.>
|
|
26
|
<But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:>
|
|
27
|
<And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.>
