[2](#verse-2) Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. [3](#verse-3) You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. [4](#verse-4) Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. [5](#verse-5) I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. [6](#verse-6) If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned. [7](#verse-7) If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. [8](#verse-8) “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples. [9](#verse-9) Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love. [10](#verse-10) If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. [11](#verse-11) I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. [12](#verse-12) “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. [13](#verse-13) Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. [14](#verse-14) You are my friends if you do whatever I command you. [15](#verse-15) No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you. [16](#verse-16) You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. [17](#verse-17) “I command these things to you, that you may love one another. [18](#verse-18) If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. [19](#verse-19) If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. [20](#verse-20) Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. [21](#verse-21) But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me. [22](#verse-22) If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. [23](#verse-23) He who hates me, hates my Father also. [24](#verse-24) If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father. [25](#verse-25) But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ [26](#verse-26) “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me. [27](#verse-27) You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
