| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You are my friends if you do what I command you. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You did not choose me, but I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"This is what I command you: Love one another. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Remember the word I spoke 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 also keep yours. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they don't know the one who sent me. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23The one who hates me also hates my Father. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But this happened so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled: They hated me for no reason. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26"When the Counselor comes, the one I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father--he will testify about me. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. |
