John

15

Background of Book
1 I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away; and every one bearing fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean by reason of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither you, unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. The one abiding in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from Me you are able to do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and it is burned. 7 If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and to you it will come to pass. 8 In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit, and you shall be My disciples. 9 As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you. Abide in My Love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may be in you and your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My friends, if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from My Father, I have made known to you. 16 You did not chose Me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and you should bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, so that whatever you might ask the Father in My name, He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another. 18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world but I chose you out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But they will do all these things against you on account of My name, because they have not known the One having sent Me. 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. 23 The one hating Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no other has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this is that the word having been written in their Law may be fulfilled: ‘They hated Me without cause.’ 26 When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from the Father, He will bear witness concerning Me. 27 And you also bear witness, because you are with Me from the beginning.
