15:1我是真葡萄树，我父是栽培的人。
15:2凡属我不结果子的枝子，他就剪去；凡结果子的，他就修理干净，使枝子结果子更多。
15:3现在你们因我讲给你们的道，已经干净了。
15:4你们要常在我里面，我也常在你们里面。枝子若不常在葡萄树上，自己就不能结果子；你们若不常在我里面，也是这样。
15:5我是葡萄树，你们是枝子；常在我里面的，我也常在他里面，这人就多结果子。因为离了我，你们就不能做什么。
15:6人若不常在我里面，就像枝子丢在外面枯干，人拾起来扔在火里烧了。
15:7你们若常在我里面，我的话也常在你们里面；凡你们所愿意的，祈求就给你们成就。
15:8你们多结果子，我父就因此得荣耀，你们也就是我的门徒了。
15:9我爱你们，正如父爱我一样，你们要常在我的爱里。
15:10你们若遵守我的命令，就常在我的爱里；正如我遵守了我父的命令，常在他的爱里。
15:11这些事我已经对你们说了，是要叫我的喜乐存在你们心里，并叫你们的喜乐可以满足。
15:12你们要彼此相爱，像我爱你们一样，这就是我的命令。
15:13人为朋友舍命，人的爱心没有比这个大的。
15:14你们若遵行我所吩咐的，就是我的朋友了。
15:15以后我不再称你们为仆人，因仆人不知道主人所做的事；我乃称你们为朋友，因我从我父所听见的，已经都告诉你们了。
15:16不是你们拣选了我，是我拣选了你们；并且分派你们去结果子，叫你们的果子常存，使你们奉我的名，无论向父求什么，他就赐给你们。
15:17我这样吩咐你们，是要叫你们彼此相爱。
1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
8This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14You are my friends if you do what I command.
15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit–fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
17This is my command: Love each other.
