15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser.
15:2  Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
15:3  Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
15:4  Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can you, except you abide in me.
15:5  I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
15:6  If a man abides 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.
15:7  If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
15:8  In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
15:9  As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue you in my love.
15:10  If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
15:11  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
15:12  This is my commandment, That you love one another, as I have loved you.
15:13  Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
15:14  You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.
15:15  From now on I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
15:16  You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
15:17  These things I command you, that you love one another.
15:18  If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
15:19  If you were of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
15:20  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.
15:21  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
15:22  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin: but now they have no cover for their sin.
15:23  He that hates me hates my Father also.
15:24  If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
15:25  But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
15:26  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
15:27  And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
