John 15 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
1 I
am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every
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. 3 Now
ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide
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. 5 I
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. 6 If
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. 7 If
ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it
shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my
Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As
the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If
ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my
Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These
things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that
your joy might be full. 12 This is my
commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater
love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I
command you. 15 Henceforth 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. 16 Ye 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. 17 These things I
command you, that ye love one another.
18 If
the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If
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. 20 Remember 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. 21 But all these things will they
do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they
had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 23 He
that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If
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. 25 But
this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in
their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But
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:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye
have been with me from the beginning. Return to Bible Online Calvinist Corner |
