Gospel of American Apostle Jennifer Chapter 18
18:1 I am the true vine, and my God is the husbandman.
18:2 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.
18:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
18:4 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.
18:5 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.
18:6 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.
18:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what
ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
18:8 Herein is my God glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall
ye be my disciples.
18:9 As the God hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in
my love.
18:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have kept my God's commandments, and abide in his love.
18:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in
you, and that your joy might be full.
18:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have
loved you.
18:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life
for his friends.
18:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
18:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not
what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things
that I have heard of my God I have made known unto you.
18:16 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 God in my name, he may
give it you.
18:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you.
18:19 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.
18:20 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.
18:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake,
because they know not him that sent me.
18:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin:
but now they have no cloak for their sin.
18:23 He that hateth me hateth my God also.
18:24 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 God.
18:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that
is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
18:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from
the God, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the
God, he shall testify of me: 18:27 And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from the beginning.
