John 15:1-17

Listen to John 15:1-17

The Vine and the Branches

1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

2 Every branch that does not bear fruit in me, he removes it, and every [branch] that bears fruit, he prunes it in order that it may bear more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit from itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither [can] you, unless you remain in me.

5 "I am the vine; you [are] the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him--this one bears much fruit, for apart from me you are not able to do anything.

6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and dries up, and they gather them and throw [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.

8 My Father is glorified by this: that you bear much fruit, and prove to be my disciples.

9 "Just as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

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.

11 I have spoken these [things] to you in order that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be made complete.

12 This is my commandment: that you love one another just as I have loved you.

13 No one has greater love than this: that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.

15 No longer do I call you slaves, because the slave does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything that I have heard from my Father I have revealed to you.

16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and your fruit should remain, in order that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.

17 These [things] I command you: that you love one another.
