15:1  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
15:2  Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleaneth it, that it my bring forth more fruit.
15:3  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken to 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 ye, except ye abide in me.
15:5  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.
15:6  If a man abideth 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 ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye may ask what ye will, and it shall be done to you.
15:8  In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
15:9  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
15:10  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.
15:11  These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
15:12  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
15:13  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
15:14  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you.
15:15  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 from my Father, I have made known to you.
15:16  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 whatever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
15:17  These things I command you, that ye love one another.
15:18  If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
15:20  Remember the word that I said to 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 to you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
15:22  If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
15:23  He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
15:24  If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen, and hated both me and my Father.
15:25  But this cometh 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 to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he will testify concerning me.
15:27  And ye also shall bear testimony, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
