¹ Y am a very vyne, and my fadir is an erthe tilier. ² Ech braunch in me that berith not fruyt, he schal take awey it; and ech that berith fruyt, he schal purge it, that it bere the more fruyt. ³ Now ye ben clene, for the word that Y haue spokun to you. ⁴ Dwelle ye in me, and Y in you; as a braunche may not make fruyt of it silf, but it dwelle in the vyne, so nether ye, but ye dwelle in me. ⁵ Y am a vyne, ye the braunchis. Who that dwellith in me, and Y in hym, this berith myche fruyt, for with outen me ye moun no thing do. ⁶ If ony man dwellith not in me, he schal be caste out as a braunche, and schal wexe drie; and thei schulen gadere hym, and thei schulen caste hym in to the fier, and he brenneth. ⁷ If ye dwellen in me, and my wordis dwelle in you, what euer thing ye wolen, ye schulen axe, and it schal be don to you. ⁸ In this thing my fadir is clarified, that ye brynge forth ful myche fruyt, and that ye be maad my disciplis. ⁹ As my fadir louede me, Y haue loued you; dwelle ye in my loue. ¹⁰ If ye kepen my comaundementis, ye schulen dwelle in my loue; as Y haue kept the comaundementis of my fadir, and Y dwelle in his loue. ¹¹ These thingis Y spak to you, that my ioye be in you, and youre ioye be fulfillid. ¹² This is my comaundement, that ye loue togidere, as Y louede you. ¹³ No man hath more loue than this, that a man putte his lijf for hise freendis. ¹⁴ Ye ben my freendis if ye doen tho thingis, that Y comaunde to you. ¹⁵ Now Y schal not clepe you seruauntis, for the seruaunt woot not, what his lord schal do; but Y haue clepid you freendis, for alle thingis what euere Y herde of my fadir, Y haue maad knowun to you. ¹⁶ Ye han not chosun me, but Y chees you; and Y haue put you, that ye go, and brynge forth fruyt, and youre fruyt dwelle; that what euere thing ye axen the fadir in my name, he yyue to you. ¹⁷ These thingis Y comaunde to you, that ye loue togidere. ¹⁸ If the world hatith you, wite ye, that it hadde me in hate rather than you. ¹⁹ If ye hadden be of the world, the world schulde loue that thing that was his; but for ye ben not of the world, but Y chees you fro the world, therfor the world hatith you. ²⁰ Haue ye mynde of my word, which Y seide to you, The seruaunt is not grettere than his lord.
