1I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.2Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that bears fruit he prunes so that it may bear more fruit.3You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me.5I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.6If anyone does not abide in me, he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.7If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.8By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples.9As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.10If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.11These things I have spoken to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.12This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.14You are my friends if you do what I command you.15No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.17These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
