15:4. Abide in me: and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of
itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you
abide in me.
15:5. I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in
him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
15:6. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch
and shall wither: and they shall gather him up and cast him into the
fire: and he burneth.
15:7. If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask
whatever you will: and it shall be done unto you.
15:8. In this is my Father glorified: that you bring forth very much
fruit and become my disciples.
15:9. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my
love.
15:10. If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love: as I
also have kept my Father's commandments and do abide in his love.
15:11. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you,
and your joy may be filled.
15:12. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have
loved you.
15:13. Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life
for his friends.
15:14. You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
15:15. I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doth. But I have called you friends. because all things,
whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
15:16. You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have
appointed you, that you should go and should bring forth fruit; and
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.
15:17. These things I command you, that you love one another.
15:18. If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you.
15:19. If you had been 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 hateth you.
15:20. Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater
than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute
you. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
15:21. But all these things they will 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 would not have sin:
but now they have no excuse for their sin.
15:23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
15:24. If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath
done, they would not have sin: but now they have both seen and hated
both me and my Father.
15:25. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their
law: they hated me without cause.
15:26. But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the
Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall
give testimony of me.
