2Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

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

4Remain 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.

5I 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.

6If 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.

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

8“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

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

10If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

11I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

13Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

15No 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.

16You 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.

18If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

19If 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.

20Remember 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.

21But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.

22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲙⲟⲥϯ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ϥⲙⲟⲥϯ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
23He who hates me, hates my Father also.

24If 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.

27You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
