John 15:12 Themes and Topics

And doing good let us not despond: for in proper time we shall reap, not being enervated.

Happy the man who went not in the counsel of the unjust, and he stood not in the way of the sinful, and sat not in the seat of those scoffing.

The unjust one desired the net of the evil: and the root of the just will give.

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you. Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you.

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

If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously. And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me:

But now do I retire to him having sent me; and not one of you asks me, Where dost thou retire But because I have spoken these to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I say the truth to you; it is profitable to you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Intercessor shall not come to you; and if I go, I will send him to you. read more.
And having come, he will convict the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment: Truly of sin, because they believe not in me; And of justice, because I retire to my Father, and ye see me no more; And of judgment, for the ruler of this world has been judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. And when he should come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he should hear, shall he speak: and he shall announce to you the things coming. He shall honour me: for he shall take of mine, and announce to you. All things which the Father has are mine: therefore said I, he shall take of mine, and announce to you.

And walk ye in love, as also Christ loved us, and gave himself for us a gift and sacrifice to God for a smell of sweet odor.

Let brotherly love remain.

Ye chose not me, but I chose you, and I have set you, that ye might retire and bear fruit, and your fruit remain: that whatever ye ask the Father in my name, he might give you. These things I command you, that ye love one another. If the world hate you, know that it has hated me the first of you. If ye were of the world, the world had loved its own: and because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they expelled me, they will also expel you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously.

Then says Jesus to them, My time is not yet present: and your time is always ready. The world cannot hate you: but me it hates, for I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up to this festival: I go not yet up to the festival; for my time has not yet been completed.

This is he having come by water and blood, Jesus the Christ; not by water alone, but by water and blood. And the Spirit is testifying, for the Spirit is truth.

But all these will they do to you for my name, for they know not him having sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not sin and now they have no pretext for their sin. He hating me hates my Father also. If I did not the works in them which none other has done, they had not sin: and now have they also seen and hated also me and my Father. But that the word written in their law might be completed, That they hated me gratuitously.

The man departed, and announced to the Jews that it is Jesus having made him well. And therefore the Jews drove out Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these in the sabbath. And Jesus answered, My Father works till now, and I work. read more.
For this therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, for not only did he loose the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

And it was to me going, and drawing near to Damascus about noon, suddenly much light from heaven flashed around me, And I fell to the ground, and heard a voice, Saul, Saul, why drivest thou me out? And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus the Nazarite, whom thou drivest out.

And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that thou art no more a servant, but a son: and if a son, also an heir of God through Christ.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away: and every one bearing fruit, he cleanses it, that it might bear more fruit. Already are ye clean, through the word which I have spoken to you. read more.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, if it remain not in the vine; so neither ye, if ye remain not in me. I am the vine, ye the branches: he remaining in me, and I in him, he bears much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If any remain not in me, he was cast forth as the branch, and was dried up; and they gather them together, and cast into the fire, and they are burned. If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, ye shall ask whatever ye wish, and it shall be to you. In this was my Father honoured, that ye should bear much fruit: and ye shall be disciples to me. As the Father loved me, I also loved you: remain in my love. If ye keep my commands, ye shall remain in my love; as I have kept my Father's commands, and remain in his love. These things have I spoken to you, that my joy might remain in you, and your joy might be completed. This is my command, That ye love one another, as I loved you. Greater love than this has none, that any lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatever I command you. I no more call you servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: and I have called you friends; for all which I heard of my Father I made known to you.

And when the Intercessor should come, which I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which comes from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also testify, for ye are with me from the beginning.

And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Intercessor, that should remain with you forever; The Spirit of truth; which the world cannot receive, for it sees it not, neither knows: and ye know it; for it shall remain with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I come to you. read more.
Yet a little, and the world sees me no more; and ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

But now do I retire to him having sent me; and not one of you asks me, Where dost thou retire But because I have spoken these to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I say the truth to you; it is profitable to you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Intercessor shall not come to you; and if I go, I will send him to you. read more.
And having come, he will convict the world of sin, and of justice, and of judgment: Truly of sin, because they believe not in me; And of justice, because I retire to my Father, and ye see me no more; And of judgment, for the ruler of this world has been judged. I have yet many things to say to you, but ye cannot bear them now. And when he should come, the Spirit of truth, he shall guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatever he should hear, shall he speak: and he shall announce to you the things coming.
