John 15 :: King James Version (KJV)

Jesus Is the Vine--Followers Are Branches

Jhn 15:1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Jhn 15:2Every 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.

Jhn 15:3

Jhn 15:3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Jhn 15:4

Jhn 15:4Abide 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.

Jhn 15:5

Jhn 15:5I 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.

Jhn 15:6

Jhn 15:6If 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.

Jhn 15:7

Jhn 15:7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Jhn 15:8

Jhn 15:8Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

Jhn 15:9

Jhn 15:9As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

Jhn 15:10

Jhn 15:10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Jhn 15:11

Jhn 15:11These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Disciples' Relation to Each Other

Jhn 15:12

Jhn 15:12This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Jhn 15:13

Jhn 15:13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jhn 15:14

Jhn 15:14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

Jhn 15:15

Jhn 15:15Henceforth 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.

Jhn 15:16

Jhn 15:16Ye 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.

Jhn 15:17

Jhn 15:17These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Disciples' Relation to the World

Jhn 15:18

Jhn 15:18If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Jhn 15:19

Jhn 15:19If 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.

Jhn 15:20

Jhn 15:20Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Jhn 15:21

Jhn 15:21But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Jhn 15:22

Jhn 15:22If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

Jhn 15:23

Jhn 15:23He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

Jhn 15:24

Jhn 15:24If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

Jhn 15:25

Jhn 15:25But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

Jhn 15:26

Jhn 15:26But 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 testify of me:

Jhn 15:27

Jhn 15:27And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
