1

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

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.

3

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

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.

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.

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.

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.

8

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit so shall ye be my disciples.

9

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

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.

11

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.

12

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

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.

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.

17

These things I command you, that ye love one another.
