1 I am the True Vine and My Father is the Planter.2 Each branch in Me not bearing fruit He takes it, and each bearing fruit He cleanses it, in order that it would bear more fruit.3 You are already clean through the word which I have spoken to you.4 You abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit by itself unless it should abide on the vine, thusly neither do you unless you would abide in Me.5 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who is abiding in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you are not able to do anything.6 If one should not abide in Me, he shall be cast outside like a branch that has withered and they gather and they cast them into the fire and it burns.7 If you abide in Me and My words should abide in you, whatever you should desire you may ask and it shall come to you.8 In this My Father is honored: that you would bear much fruit, and you would be My students. "9 Just as the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. You abide in My love.10 If you will keep My commandments you shall abide in My love, just as I have kept the commandments of My Father and I abide in His love.11 These things I have spoken to you in order that My joy would be in you and your joy would be fulfilled.12 This is My commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.13 A greater love than this no one has: that one would lay down his life on behalf of his friends.14 You are My friends if you would do the things which I command you.15 No longer do I call you a servant, because a servant does not know what his master does. But you I have proclaimed friends because all things which I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have ordained you in order that you should go and bear fruit and your fruit would abide, that whatever you may ask the Father in My Name He would give to you.17 These things I command you, that you love one another. "18 If Society hates you, know that it hated Me before you.19 If you were from of Society, Society would have loved its own. But because you are not from of Society, but I have chosen you out of Society, for this reason Society hates you.20 Remember the word which I spoke to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they have persecuted Me, they shall also persecute you. If they have kept My word, they shall also keep yours.21 But all these things they shall do to you on account of My Name, because they do not know He who has sent Me.22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no error, but now they have no excuse concerning their errors.23 He hating Me also hates the Father!24 If I had not done among them works which no one else has done, they would have no error. But now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father,25 but in order that the Word would be fulfilled which is written in their law, that 'They have hated Me for naught.' "26 When the Advocate should come, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth which goes out from the Father, that shall testify concerning Me.27 But you also shall testify, because you are with Me from the beginning.
