^{1 Ref} I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

^{2 Ref} Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every `branch' that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.

^{3 Ref} Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.

^{4 Ref} Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.

^{5 Ref} I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.

^{6 Ref} If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

^{7 Ref} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

^{8 Ref} Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and `so' shall ye be my disciples.

^{9 Ref} Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love.

^{10 Ref} 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 Ref} These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and `that' your joy may be made full.

^{12 Ref} This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you.

^{13 Ref} Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

^{14 Ref} Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.

^{15 Ref} No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.

^{16 Ref} Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and `that' your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

^{17 Ref} These things I command you, that ye may love one another.

^{18 Ref} If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before `it hated' you.

^{19 Ref} If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

^{20 Ref} Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

^{21 Ref} But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

^{22 Ref} If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.

^{23 Ref} He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

^{24 Ref} If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

^{25 Ref} But `this cometh to pass', that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

^{26 Ref} 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 bear witness of me:

^{27 Ref} and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

^{1 Ref} I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

^{2 Ref} He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

^{3 Ref} You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.

^{4 Ref} Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

^{5 Ref} I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

^{6 Ref} If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

^{7 Ref} If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

^{8 Ref} Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.

^{9 Ref} Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

^{10 Ref} If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever in his love.

^{11 Ref} I have said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.

^{12 Ref} This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

^{13 Ref} Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.

^{14 Ref} You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

^{15 Ref} No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

^{16 Ref} You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

^{17 Ref} So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.

^{18 Ref} If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.

^{19 Ref} If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.

^{20 Ref} Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

^{21 Ref} They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

^{22 Ref} If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

^{23 Ref} He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.

^{24 Ref} If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

^{25 Ref} This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

^{26 Ref} When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

^{27 Ref} And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.
