dby - John:15:1-17

dby@John:15:1 @ I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

dby@John:15:2 @ [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.

dby@John:15:3 @ Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.

dby@John:15:4 @ Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.

dby@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

dby@John:15:6 @ Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

dby@John:15:7 @ If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.

dby@John:15:8 @ In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.

dby@John:15:9 @ As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

dby@John:15:10 @ If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

dby@John:15:11 @ I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.

dby@John:15:12 @ This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

dby@John:15:13 @ No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.

dby@John:15:14 @ Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.

dby@John:15:15 @ I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.

dby@John:15:16 @ Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.

dby@John:15:17 @ These things I command you, that ye love one another.
