 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 purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
 15:3  Now ye 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 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 abide 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 shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
 15:8  Herein 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 unto you, that my joy might
remain in you, and [that] your joy might 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 whatsoever 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 of my Father I have made known
unto 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 whatsoever 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 hate you, ye know that it hated me before
[it hated] you.
 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his 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 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 had not
had sin: but now they have no cloak 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 none other
man did, 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 unto
you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
 15:27  And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been
with me from the beginning.
