| 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] | 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. |
| 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, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now 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] | 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14You are my friends if you do what I command. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17This is my command: Love each other. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Remember what I told you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not 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; but now they have no excuse for their sin. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.' |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26"When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father--he will testify about me. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. |
