rsv John:15:1-17
rsv@John:15:1 @ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
rsv@John:15:2 @ Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
rsv@John:15:3 @ You are already made clean by the word which I have spoken to you.
rsv@John:15:4 @ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
rsv@John:15:5 @ I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
rsv@John:15:6 @ If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned.
rsv@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.
rsv@John:15:8 @ By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.
rsv@John:15:9 @ As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
rsv@John:15:10 @ 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.
rsv@John:15:11 @ These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
rsv@John:15:12 @ "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
rsv@John:15:13 @ Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
rsv@John:15:14 @ You are my friends if you do what I command you.
rsv@John:15:15 @ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.
rsv@John:15:16 @ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
rsv@John:15:17 @ This I command you, to love one another.
