John Chapter 15 015:001 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. 015:002 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 015:003 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 015:004 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 015:005 I am the vine. You are the branches.
He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 015:006 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 015:007 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. 015:008 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
015:009 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. 015:010 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love. 015:011 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. 015:012 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. 015:013 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
015:014 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you. 015:015 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you. 015:016 You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
015:017 "I command these things to you, that you may love one another. 015:018 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. 015:019 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 015:020 Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his lord.'{John 13:16} If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
If they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 015:021 But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me. 015:022 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 015:023 He who hates me, hates my Father also. 015:024 If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.
015:025 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'{Psalms 35:19; 69:4} 015:026 "When the Counselor{Greek Parakletos: Counselor, Helper, Advocate, Intercessor, and Comfortor.} has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me. 015:027 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
