John 15
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.
