1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. | IP¹ | IP² | C | TOSK | TT |
2 He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT¹ |
4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. | IP | C | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples. | IP | C | TOSK | TT |
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. | C | TOSK |
10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. | C | TOSK |
11 I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. | C | TOSK |
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. | IP | C | TOSK |
13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. | IP | C | TOSK |
14 You are My friends if you do what I command you. | IP | C | TOSK |
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you. | IP | C | TOSK |
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you. | IP | C | TOSK |
17 This is My command to you: Love one another. | C | TOSK |
18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first. | IP | C | TOSK |
19 If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. | IP | C | TOSK |
20 Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well. | IP | TOSK |
21 But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me. | IP | TOSK |
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. | C | TOSK |
23 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well. | C | TOSK |
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father. | C | TOSK |
25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’ | IP | C | TOSK |
26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me. | IP | C | TOSK |
27 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning. | IP | C | TOSK |
