* I am the true vine , and my Father is the husbandman . * 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 . * Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * If ye abide in me , and my words abide in you , ye shall ask what ye will , and it shall be done unto you . * Herein is my Father glorified , that ye bear much fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples . * As the Father hath loved me , so have I loved you : continue ye in my love . * 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 . * These things have I spoken unto you , that my joy might remain in you , and that your joy might be full . * This is my commandment , That ye love one another , as I have loved you . * Greater love hath no man than this , that a man lay down his life for his friends . * Ye are my friends , if ye do whatsoever I command you . * 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 . * 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 . * These things I command you , that ye love one another . * If the world hate you , ye know that it hated me before it hated you . * 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 . * 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 . * But all these things will they do unto you for my name 's sake , because they know not him that sent me . * If I had not come and spoken unto them , they had not had sin : but now they have no cloke for their sin . * He that hateth me hateth my Father also . * 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 . * But this cometh to pass , that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law , They hated me without a cause . * 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 : * And ye also shall bear witness , because ye have been with me from the beginning .
