Iamthetruevine, andmyFatheristhehusbandman. Everybranchinme that bearethnotfruit he taketh away: andevery branch that bearethfruit, he purgethit, that it may bring forthmorefruit. Nowyearecleanthroughthewordwhich I have spoken unto you. Abideinme, and Iinyou. Asthebranchcannotbearfruitofitself, except it abideinthevine; nomore can ye, except ye abideinme. Iamthevine, ye are thebranches: He that abidethinme, and Iinhim, the same bringeth forthmuchfruit: forwithoutme ye candonothing. If a man abide notinme, he is castforthas a branch, and is withered; and men gatherthem, andcast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abideinme, andmywordsabideinyou, ye shall askwhat ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is myFatherglorified, that ye bearmuchfruit; so shall ye bemydisciples. Asthe Father hathlovedme, so have I lovedyou: continue ye inmylove. If ye keepmycommandments, ye shall abideinmylove; even asI have keptmyFather's commandments, andabideinhislove. These things have I spoken unto you, thatmyjoy might remaininyou, and that yourjoy might be full. Thisismycommandment, That ye love one another, as I have lovedyou. Greaterlovehath no man than this, that a man lay downhislifeforhisfriends. Yearemyfriends, if ye dowhatsoeverIcommandyou. Henceforth I call you notservants; fortheservantknowethnotwhathislorddoeth: but I have calledyoufriends; for all thingsthat I have heardofmyFather I have made known unto you. Ye have notchosenme, butI have chosenyou, andordainedyou, thatye should goand bring forthfruit, and that yourfruit should remain: thatwhatsoever ye shall ask of theFatherinmyname, he may give it you. These things I commandyou, that ye love one another. Iftheworldhateyou, ye knowthat it hatedmebefore it hated you. If ye wereoftheworld, theworld would love his own: butbecause ye arenotoftheworld, butI have chosenyou out oftheworld, thereforetheworldhatethyou. RememberthewordthatIsaid unto you, The servantisnotgreater than hislord. If they have persecutedme, they will alsopersecuteyou; if they have keptmysaying, they will keepyoursalso. Butall these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they knownot him that sentme. If I had notcomeandspoken unto them, they had nothadsin: butnow they havenocloakfortheirsin. He that hatethmehatethmyFatheralso. If I had notdoneamongthemtheworkswhichnone other mandid, they had nothadsin: butnow have they bothseenandhatedbothmeandmyFather. But this cometh to pass, thattheword might be fulfilled that is writtenintheirlaw, They hatedme without a cause. ButwhentheComforter is come, whomI will send unto youfromtheFather, even theSpirit of truth, whichproceedethfromtheFather, he shall testifyofme: Andyealso shall bear witness, because ye have beenwithmefrom the beginning.
