John 15 : 1 (NCV)
I am the true vine; my Father is the gardener.
John 15 : 2 (NCV)
He cuts off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit. And he trims and cleans every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce even more fruit.
John 15 : 3 (NCV)
You are already clean because of the words I have spoken to you.
John 15 : 4 (NCV)
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. A branch cannot produce fruit alone but must remain in the vine. In the same way, you cannot produce fruit alone but must remain in me.
John 15 : 5 (NCV)
I am the vine, and you are the branches. If any remain in me and I remain in them, they produce much fruit. But without me they can do nothing.
John 15 : 6 (NCV)
If any do not remain in me, they are like a branch that is thrown away and then dies. People pick up dead branches, throw them into the fire, and burn them.
John 15 : 7 (NCV)
If you remain in me and follow my teachings, you can ask anything you want, and it will be given to you.
John 15 : 8 (NCV)
You should produce much fruit and show that you are my followers, which brings glory to my Father.
John 15 : 9 (NCV)
I loved you as the Father loved me. Now remain in my love.
John 15 : 10 (NCV)
I have obeyed my Father's commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love.
John 15 : 11 (NCV)
I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy.
John 15 : 12 (NCV)
This is my command: Love each other as I have loved you.
John 15 : 13 (NCV)
The greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends.
John 15 : 14 (NCV)
You are my friends if you do what I command you.
John 15 : 15 (NCV)
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing. But I call you friends, because I have made known to you everything I heard from my Father.
John 15 : 16 (NCV)
You did not choose me; I chose you. And I gave you this work: to go and produce fruit, fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you anything you ask for in my name.
John 15 : 17 (NCV)
This is my command: Love each other.
John 15 : 18 (NCV)
If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.
John 15 : 19 (NCV)
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as it loves its own. But I have chosen you out of the world, so you don't belong to it. That is why the world hates you.
John 15 : 20 (NCV)
Remember what I told you: A servant is not greater than his master. If people did wrong to me, they will do wrong to you, too. And if they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours, too.
John 15 : 21 (NCV)
They will do all this to you on account of me, because they do not know the One who sent me.
John 15 : 22 (NCV)
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
John 15 : 23 (NCV)
Whoever hates me also hates my Father.
John 15 : 24 (NCV)
I did works among them that no one else has ever done. If I had not done these works, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen what I have done, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
John 15 : 25 (NCV)
But this happened so that what is written in their law would be true: 'They hated me for no reason.'
John 15 : 26 (NCV)
I will send you the Helpern from the Father; he is the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father. When he comes, he will tell about me,
John 15 : 27 (NCV)
and you also must tell people about me, because you have been with me from the beginning.
