1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that bears₃ not fruit he takes₃ away: and every branch that bears₃ fruit, he purges₃ it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now you₂ 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 you₂, except you₂ abide in me.
5 I am the vine, you₂ are the branches: He that abides₃ in me, and I in him, the same brings₃ forth much fruit: for without me you₂ 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 you₂ abide in me, and my words abide in you, you₂ shall ask what you₂ will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that you₂ bear much fruit; so shall you₂ be my disciples.
9 As the Father has₃ loved me, so have I loved you: continue you₂ in my love.
10 If you₂ keep my commandments, you₂ 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 you₂ love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has₃ no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You₂ are my friends, if you₂ do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows₃ not what his lord does₃: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 You₂ have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that you₂ should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you₂ shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that you₂ love one another.
18 If the world hate you, you₂ know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you₂ were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you₂ are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates₃ you.
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.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 He that hates₃ me hates₃ my Father also.
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.
25 But this comes₃ to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceeds₃ from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And you₂ also shall bear witness, because you₂ have been with me from the beginning.
