St John 15:1-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. I AM the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

2. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

5. I am the vine; you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

6. If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth.

7. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.

8. In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.

9. As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.
