John 15:4-15

English Standard Version

^4 (A)Abide ^(B)in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. ⁵ I am the vine; ^(C)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^(D)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in me ^(E)he is thrown away like a branch and withers; ^(F)and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. ⁷ If ^(G)you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ^(H)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. ^8 (I)By this my Father is glorified, that you ^(J)bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. ^9 (K)As the Father has loved me, ^(L)so have I loved you. Abide in my love. ^10 (M)If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as ^(N)I have kept ^(O)my Father's commandments and abide in his love. ¹¹ These things I have spoken to you, ^(P)that my joy may be in you, and that ^(Q)your joy may be full.

^12 (R)“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. ^13 (S)Greater love has no one than this, ^(T)that someone lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴ You are ^(U)my friends ^(V)if you do what I command you. ^15 (W)No longer do I call you servants,^[a] for the servant ^(X)does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ^(Y)all that I have heard from my Father ^(Z)I have made known to you.
