John 15

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.WEB — John 15:1

2 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.WEB — John 15:2

3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.WEB — John 15:3

4 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.WEB — John 15:4

5 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.WEB — John 15:5

6 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.WEB — John 15:6

7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done to you.WEB — John 15:7

8 In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.WEB — John 15:8

9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.WEB — John 15:9

10 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.WEB — John 15:10

11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.WEB — John 15:11

12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.WEB — John 15:12

13 Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.WEB — John 15:13

14 You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.WEB — John 15:14

15 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.WEB — John 15:15

16 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.WEB — John 15:16

17 I command these things to you, that you may love one another.WEB — John 15:17

18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.WEB — John 15:18

19 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.WEB — John 15:19

20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.WEB — John 15:20

21 But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.WEB — John 15:21

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.WEB — John 15:22

23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.WEB — John 15:23

24 If I hadn't done among them the works which none other did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.WEB — John 15:24

25 But that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’WEB — John 15:25

26 When the Counselor 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.WEB — John 15:26

27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.WEB — John 15:27
