    1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

    2 He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

    3 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.

    4 Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

    5 I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

    6 If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

    7 If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

    12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.

    14 You are my friends, if you do what I give you orders to do.

    15 No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

    16 You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

    17 So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
