2Everybranchinmethatbearethnotfruit he taketh away: andeverybranchthatbearethfruit, he purgethit, thatit may bring forthmorefruit.
3Nowyearecleanthrough the wordwhich I have spoken unto you.
4Abideinme, and Iinyou. As the branchcannotbearfruitofitself, except it abidein the vine; no more can ye, exceptyeabideinme.
5Iam the vine, ye are the branches: He that abidethinme, and Iinhim, the same bringeth forthmuchfruit: forwithoutmeyecandonothing.
6If a manabidenotinme, he is castforthas a branch, and is withered; and men gatherthem, andcasttheminto the fire, and they are burned.
7If ye abideinme, andmywordsabideinyou, ye shall askwhat ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8HereinismyFatherglorified, that ye bearmuchfruit; so shall ye bemydisciples.
9As the Father hath lovedme, sohaveIlovedyou: continue yeinmylove.
10If ye keepmycommandments, ye shall abideinmylove; even asI have keptmy Father's commandments, andabideinhislove.
11
These things have I spoken unto you, thatmyjoy might remaininyou, andthatyourjoy might be full.
12Thisismycommandment, That ye love one another, as I have lovedyou.
13Greaterlovehath no manthanthis, that a man lay downhislifeforhisfriends.
14Yearemyfriends, ifyedowhatsoeverIcommandyou.
15Henceforth I callyounotservants; for the servantknowethnotwhathislorddoeth: but I have calledyoufriends; for all thingsthat I have heardofmyFather I have made known unto you.
16Yehavenotchosenme, butIhavechosenyou, andordainedyou, thatye should goand bring forthfruit, andthatyourfruit should remain: thatwhatsoeverye shall ask of the Fatherinmyname, he may give ityou.
17
These things I commandyou, that ye love one another.
18If the worldhateyou, ye knowthat it hatedmebefore it hatedyou.
19If ye wereof the world, the worldwouldlove his own: butbecause ye arenotof the world, butI have chosenyou out of the world, therefore the worldhatethyou.
20Remember the wordthatIsaid unto you, The servantisnot greater thanhislord. If they have persecutedme, they willalsopersecuteyou; if they have keptmysaying, they willkeepyoursalso.
21Butall these things will they do unto youformy name's sake, because they knownot him that sentme.
22If I hadnotcomeandspoken unto them, they hadnothadsin: butnow they havenoclokefortheirsin.
23
He that hatethmehatethmyFatheralso.
24If I hadnotdoneamongthem the workswhichnone other mandid, theyhadnothadsin: butnow have theybothseenandhatedbothmeandmyFather.
25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilledthat is writtenintheirlaw, They hatedme without a cause.
26Butwhen the Comforter is come, whomI will send unto youfrom the Father, even the Spiritoftruth, whichproceedethfrom the Father, he shall testifyofme:
27Andyealso shall bear witness, becauseye have beenwithmefrom the beginning.
