I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me, and I in him, beareth much fruit: but without me ye can do nothing.

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

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

But when the comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, (even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father,) He shall testify of me.

Ye did not first choose me, but I chose you, and have appointed you to go forth, and bear fruit, and that your fruit should be lasting: that whatsoever ye ask the Father in my name, He may give it you.

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

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and it shall be granted you.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me first.

Abide therefore in me, and I will abide in you: for as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, unless it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.

As the Father hath loved me, and I have loved you, continue in my love:

I no longer stile you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth: but I have called you friends; for whatsoever I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

and if ye keep my commandments ye will continue in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and continue in his love.

Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy in you may continue, and that your joy may be full.

and ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you.

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.

Remember what 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 observed my word, they will also observe yours.

every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away, and every one that beareth fruit, He purgeth, that it may bear more fruit.

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

If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as a useless branch and withereth: and they gather them up, and throw them into the fire, and they are burnt.

But all these things will they do unto you, on my account, because they know not Him that sent me.

He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.

If I had not done among them such works as no other ever did, they had not comparatively had sin: but now they have both seen, and hated, both me and my Father.

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

These commands I give you, that ye should love one another.

But thus it is that the word might be fulfilled, which is written in their law, they hated me without a cause.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
