¹ YO SOY la vid verdadera, y mi Padre es el labrador.

² Todo pámpano que en mí no lleva fruto, lo quitará; y todo aquel que lleva fruto, lo limpiará, para que lleve más fruto.

³ Ya vosotros sois limpios por la palabra que os he hablado.

⁴ Permaneced en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto de sí mismo, si no permaneciere en la vid; así vosotros, si no estuviereis en mí.

⁵ YO SOY la vid, vosotros los pámpanos; el que permanece en mí, y yo en él, éste lleva mucho fruto; porque sin mí nada podéis hacer.

⁶ El que no permanece en mí, será echado fuera como mal pámpano, y se secará; y los cogen, y los echan en el fuego, y arden.

⁷ Si permaneces en mí, y mis palabras permanecen en vosotros, todo lo que quisiereis pediréis, y os será hecho.

⁸ En esto es clarificado mi Padre, en que llevéis mucho fruto, y seáis así mis discípulos.

⁹ Como el Padre me amó, también yo os he amado; permaneced en mi amor.

¹⁰ Si guardareis mis mandamientos, permaneceréis en mi amor; como yo también he guardado los mandamientos de mi Padre, y permanesco en su amor.

¹¹ Estas cosas os he hablado, para que mi gozo permanece en vosotros, y vuestro gozo sea cumplido.

¹² Este es mi mandamiento: Que os ameis los unos a los otros, como yo os he amado.

¹³ Nadie tiene mayor amor que este, que ponga alguno su alma por sus amigos.

¹⁴ Vosotros sois mis amigos, si hiciereis las cosas que yo os mando.

¹⁵ Ya no os diré siervos, porque el siervo no sabe lo que hace su señor; mas os he dicho amigos, porque todas las cosas que oí de mi Padre, os las he hecho notorias.

¹⁶ No me elegisteis vosotros a mí , mas yo os elegí a vosotros; y os he puesto para que vayáis y llevéis fruto, y vuestro fruto permanezca; para que todo lo que pidiereis del Padre en mi nombre, él os lo dé.

¹⁷ Esto os mando: Que os ameis los unos a los otros.

¹⁸ Si el mundo os aborrece, sabed que a mí me aborreció antes que a vosotros.

¹⁹ Si fuerais del mundo, el mundo amaría lo que es suyo; mas porque no sois del mundo, antes yo os elegí del mundo, por eso os aborrece el mundo.

²⁰ Acordaos de la palabra que yo os he dicho: No es el siervo mayor que su señor. Si a mí me han perseguido, también a vosotros perseguirá; si han guardado mi palabra, también guardarán la vuestra.

²¹ Mas todo esto os harán por causa de mi nombre, porque no conocen al que me ha enviado.

²² Si no hubiera venido, ni les hubiera hablado, no tendrían pecado, mas ahora no tienen excusa de su pecado.

²³ El que me aborrece, también a mi Padre aborrece.

²⁴ Si no hubiese hecho entre ellos obras cuales ningún otro ha hecho, no tendrían pecado; mas ahora, las han visto, y me aborrecen a mí y a mi Padre.

²⁵ Mas para que se cumpla la palabra que está escrita en su ley: Que sin causa me aborrecieron.

²⁶ Pero cuando viniere el Consolador, el cual yo os enviaré del Padre, el Espíritu de Verdad, el cual procede del Padre, él dará testimonio de mí.

²⁷ Y vosotros daréis testimonio, porque estáis conmigo desde el principio.

¹ "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.

² Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

³ You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

⁵ I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

⁶ If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

⁸ "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

⁹ Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

¹⁰ If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love.

¹¹ I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

¹² "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

¹³ Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

¹⁴ You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

¹⁵ No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶ You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

¹⁷ "I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

¹⁸ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his lord.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

²¹ But all these things will they do to you for my name's sake, because they don't know him who sent me.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

²⁴ If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

²⁵ But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, 'They hated me without a cause.'

²⁶ "When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.

²⁷ You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
