The consolation and mutual love between Christ and his members, under the parable of the vine.1 ¶ Iº amºª the² trueº vine,º andº myº Fatherº isºª the² husbandman.º 2 Everyº branchº inº meº that¹ bearethºª notº fruitº he taketh away:ºª² andº everyº [branch] that bearethºª fruit,º he purgethºª it,º thatº it may bring forthºª moreº fruit.º 3 Nowº yeº areºª cleanº throughº the² wordº whichº I have spokenºª unto you.º 4 Abideºª inº me,º and Iº inº you.º Asº the² branchº cannotººª bearºª fruitº ofº itself,º exceptº it abideºª inº the² vine;º no² moreº¹ can ye,º exceptº ye abideºª inº me.º 5 Iº amºª the² vine,º yeº [are] the² branches:º He that abidethºª inº me,º and Iº inº him,º the sameº bringeth forthºª muchº fruit:º forº withoutº meº ye canºª² doºª nothing.º¹ 6 If¹ª a man¹ abide¹ª notº²² inº me,º he is castºª forthº asº a branch,º andº is withered;ºª andº men gatherºª them,º andº castºª [them] intoº the fire,º andº they are burned.ºª 7 Ifº ye abideºª inº me,º andº myº wordsº abideºª inº you,º ye shall askºª whatºº ye will,ºª andº it shall be doneºª unto you.º 8 Hereinºº is¹ª myº Fatherº glorified,ºª thatº ye bearºª muchº fruit;º soº shall ye beºª my¹² disciples.º 9 Asº the² Father¹ hath² lovedºª me,º so¹ª have¹ª I¹ lovedºª² you:º continue² ye¹ª inº myº love.º 10 Ifº ye keepºª myº commandments,º ye shall abideºª inº myº love;º even asº Iº have keptºª myº Father'sº commandments,º andº abideºª inº hisº love.º 11 These thingsº have I spokenºª unto you,º thatº myº joyº might remainºª inº you,º andº [that] yourº joyº might be full.ºª 12 Thisº isºª myº commandment,º Thatº ye loveºª one another,º asº I have lovedºª you.º 13 Greaterºª loveº hathºª no manº than¹ this,º thatº a manº lay downºª his¹² lifeº forº his¹² friends.º 14 Yeº areºª myº friends,º ifº ye doºª whatsoeverº Iº commandºª you.º 15 Henceforth¹ª I call¹ª you¹ notº²² servants;º forº the² servantº knowethºª notº whatº hisº lordº doeth:ºª butº I have calledºª youº friends;º forº all thingsº thatº I have heardºª ofº myº Fatherº I have made knownºª unto you.º 16 Yeº have¹ª notº chosenºª me,º butº Iº have chosenºª you,º andº ordainedºª you,º thatº yeº should goºª andº bring forthºª fruit,º andº [that] yourº fruitº should remain:ºª thatº whatsoeverºº¹ ye shall askºª of the² Fatherº inº myº name,º he may give² it¹ª you.º 17 These thingsº I commandºª you,º thatº ye loveºª one another.º [1] Gn 49:10; Ps 80:8; So 7:12; 8:11; Is 4:2; 5:1; 27:2; 60:21; 61:3; Jr 2:21; 12:10; Ezk 15:2; Ho 10:1; Zc 3:8; Mt 20:1; 21:33; Mk 12:1; Lk 13:6; Jn 1:9, 17; 6:32, 55; 1Co 3:9; 1Jn 2:8.
