| John 15: (ASV) |
| 1) I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. |
| 2) Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. |
| 3) Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you. |
| 4) Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. |
| 5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. |
| 6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. |
| 7) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. |
| 8) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples. |
| 9) Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in my love. |
| 10) 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. |
| 11) These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full. |
| 12) This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. |
| 13) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. |
| 14) Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. |
| 15) No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. |
| 16) Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. |
| 17) These things I command you, that ye may love one another. |
| 18) If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. |
| 19) If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. |
| 20) Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. |
| 21) But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. |
| 22) If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. |
| 23) He that hateth me hateth my Father also. |
| 24) If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. |
| 25) But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. |
| 26) 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 bear witness of me: |
| 27) and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning. |
