15"I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.G1473G1510G228G288G2532G3450G3962G2076G10922He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.G3956G2814G1722G1698G846G5342G3361G2590G142G2532G3956G5342G2590G2508G846G2443G5342G4119G25903You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.G2235G5210G2075G2513G1223G3056G3739G2980G52134Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G5213G2531G2814G3756G1410G5342G2590G575G1438G3362G3306G1722G288G3761G3779G5210G3362G3306G1722G16985"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.G1473G1510G288G5210G2814G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G846G3778G5342G4183G2590G3754G5565G1700G1410G4160G3756G37626Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.G3362G5100G3306G3362G1722G1698G906G1854G5613G2814G2532G3583G2532G4863G846G2532G906G1519G4442G2532G25457But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!G1437G3306G1722G1698G2532G3450G4487G3306G1722G5213G154G3739G1437G2309G2532G1096G52138When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.G1722G5129G1392G3450G3962G1392G2443G5342G4183G2590G2532G1096G1699G31019"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.G2531G3962G25G3165G2504G25G2504G25G5209G3306G1722G1699G2610When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father's commandments and remain in his love.G1437G5083G3450G1785G3306G1722G3450G26G2531G1473G5083G3450G3962G1785G2532G3306G1722G846G2611I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!G5023G2980G5213G2443G1699G5479G3306G1722G5213G2532G5216G5479G413712This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.G3778G2076G1699G1785G2443G25G240G2531G25G520913There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends.G3187G26G2192G3762G3187G5026G2443G5100G5087G846G5590G5228G846G538414You are my friends if you do what I command.G5210G2075G3450G5384G1437G4160G3745G1473G1781G521315I no longer call you slaves, because a master doesn't confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.G3765G3004G5209G3765G1401G3754G1401G1492G3756G5101G846G2962G4160G1161G2046G5209G5384G3754G3956G3739G191G3844G3450G3962G1107G521316You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.G5210G1586G3756G1586G3165G235G1473G1586G5209G2532G5087G5209G2443G5210G5217G2532G5342G2590G2532G5216G2590G3306G2443G3739G302G3748G154G3962G1722G3450G3686G1325G521317This is my command: Love each other.G5023G1781G5213G2443G25G240
The World’s Hatred
18"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.G1487G2889G3404G5209G1097G3754G3404G1691G4412G521619The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.G1487G2258G1537G2889G2889G302G5368G2398G1161G3754G2075G3756G1537G2889G235G1473G1586G5209G1537G2889G5124G1223G2889G3404G520920Do you remember what I told you? 'A slave is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.G3421G3056G3739G1473G2036G5213G1401G2076G3756G3187G846G2962G1487G1377G1691G1377G2532G1377G5209G1487G5083G3450G3056G5083G5212G253221They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the One who sent me.G235G3956G5023G4160G5213G1223G3450G3686G3450G3754G1492G3756G3992G316522They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.G1508G2064G1508G2064G2532G2980G846G2192G3756G2192G266G1161G3568G2192G3756G4392G4012G846G26623Anyone who hates me also hates my Father.G3404G1691G3404G3450G3962G253224If I hadn't done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father.G1508G4160G1508G4160G1722G846G2041G3739G3762G243G4160G2192G3756G2192G266G1161G3568G3708G2532G3708G2532G3404G2532G1691G2532G3450G396225This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures: 'They hated me without cause.'G235G2443G3056G4137G1125G1722G846G3551G3754G3404G3165G143226"But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.G1161G3752G3875G2064G3739G1473G3992G5213G3844G3962G4151G225G3739G1607G3844G3962G1565G3140G4012G170027And you must also testify about me because you have been with me from the beginning of my ministry.G1161G5210G2532G3140G3754G2075G3326G1700G575G746
