John Chapter 15 (Index)

001  I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

002  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.

003  Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

004  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.

005  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.

006  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.

007  If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

008  Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

009  As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

010  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.

011  These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

012  This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

013  Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

014  Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

015  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.

016  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.

017  These things I command you, that ye love one another.

018  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

019  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.

020  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.

021  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

022  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

023  He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

024  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.

025  But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

026  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:

027  And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
