John Chapter 15 Verse 9‹As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.›

‹Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.›

‹But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.›

‹I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.›

‹Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every› [branch] ‹that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.›

‹Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.›

‹Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.›

‹I am the vine, ye› [are] ‹the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.›

‹If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast› [them] ‹into the fire, and they are burned.›

‹If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.›

‹Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.›

‹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.›

‹These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and› [that] ‹your joy might be full.›

‹This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.›

‹Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.›

‹Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.›

‹Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.›

‹Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and› [that] ‹your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.›

‹These things I command you, that ye love one another.›

‹If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before› [it hated] ‹you.›

‹If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.›
