The
True Vine
John 15:1-27
1 I am the true vine, and my Father
is the husbandman.
2
Every branch in me that beareth not
fruit he taketh away: and every
branch
that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth
more fruit.

hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his
friends.
3
Now ye are clean through the word
which I have spoken unto you.
John 13:10
Jesus saith to him,
He that is washed needeth not save to
wash his
feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not
all.

the washing of water by the word,
1 Pet 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in
obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of
the brethren, see that
ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
4
Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in
the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Col 1:23
If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and
be not moved
away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard,
and which was
preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I
Paul am made a minister;
1 John 2:6 He that saith he abideth in him ought
himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
5
I am the vine, ye
are
the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.

Ephraim
shall say, What
have I to do any more with idols? I have heard
him, and
observed him: I am
like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.

1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,
which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
4:12-13 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know
how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed
both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to
suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.
6
If a man abide not in me, he is
cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather
them, and cast
them
into the fire, and they are burned.

3:10 And now
also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore
every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
and cast into the fire.

down, and cast into the fire.
7
If ye abide in me, and my words
abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you.
John 16:23 And in that
day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give
it
you.

ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

light so shine before men, that they may see your good

have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10
If ye keep my commandments, ye
shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's
commandments, and abide in his love.

me, keep my commandments.

ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

love one another, as I have loved you.

commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I

you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one
another.

given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for
a sweetsmelling savour.
1 John 3:16
Hereby perceive we the love
of God, because
he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down
our lives for
the brethren.

whatsoever I command you.

whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven,
the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my
Father I have made known unto you.

And the LORD said, Shall
I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will
declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them,
and I in them.
16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have
chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring
forth fruit, and
that
your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of
the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John
6:70 Jesus
answered them, Have not I chosen you
twelve, and one of you is a devil?

gospel to every creature.

it is in all
the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as
it doth also in
you, since the day ye heard
of it, and knew
the grace of God in truth:

7
If ye abide in me, and my
words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall
be done unto you.
17
These things I command you, that ye
love one another.
18
If the world hate you, ye know that
it hated me before
it hated
you.
1 John 3:13
Marvel not, my brethren,
if the world hate you.
19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but
because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out
of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
1 John 4:5
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world,
and the world heareth them.
John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath
hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am
not of the world.
20
Remember the word that I said unto
you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have
persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have
kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

is not above
his
master, nor the servant above his lord.

one that is perfect shall be as his master.

sent me.

men
for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be

If I had not come and spoken unto
them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for
their sin.

Jesus said unto them,
If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:
but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by
the things that are made,
even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

good, and doeth it
not, to him it is sin.
23
He that hateth me hateth my Father
also.
1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the
Son, the same hath not the Father:
(but) he that acknowledgeth
the Son hath the Father also.
24
If I had not done
among them the works which none other man did, they had not
had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and
my Father.

The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi,
we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man
can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with
him.

But
this cometh to pass,
that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their
law, They hated me without a cause.

35:19 Let not
them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
neither let
them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me,
being mine
enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored
that which I
took not away.
26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I
will send unto you from the Father,
even
the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he
shall testify of me:

And, behold, I send the promise
of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because
it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for
he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he
hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

ye have been with me from the beginning.

regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from
henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom
they slew and hanged on a tree:

up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses
unto the people.
1 Pet 5:1 The elders which are among you I exhort,
who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of
Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be
revealed:

devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of
his majesty.

Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the
beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;

we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we
have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of
life;
