1. {SCJ}I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. {SCJ.}
2. {SCJ}Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. {SCJ.}
3. {SCJ}Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. {SCJ.}
4. {SCJ}Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. {SCJ.}
5. {SCJ}I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. {SCJ.}
6. {SCJ}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. {SCJ.}
7. {SCJ}If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. {SCJ.}
8. {SCJ}Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. {SCJ.}
9. {SCJ}As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. {SCJ.}
10. {SCJ}If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. {SCJ.}
11. {SCJ}These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full. {SCJ.}
12. {SCJ}This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. {SCJ.}
13. {SCJ}Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. {SCJ.}
14. {SCJ}Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. {SCJ.}
15. {SCJ}Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. {SCJ.}
16. {SCJ}Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. {SCJ.}
17. {SCJ}These things I command you, that ye love one another. {SCJ.}
18. {SCJ}If the world hate you, ye know that [it hated] me before it hated you. {SCJ.}
19. {SCJ}If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. {SCJ.}
20. {SCJ}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. {SCJ.}
21. {SCJ}But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. {SCJ.}
22. {SCJ}If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. {SCJ.}
23. {SCJ}He that hateth me hateth my Father also. {SCJ.}
24. {SCJ}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. {SCJ.}
25. {SCJ}But [this cometh to pass,] that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. {SCJ.}
26. {SCJ}But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: {SCJ.}
27. {SCJ}And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. {SCJ.}
