bring forth _________ fruit. Now ye are clean through the ____________
which I have spoken unto you. _______________ in me and I in you. As the
branch _________ bear fruit of itself, except it _________ in the vine;
no more can ye, except ye ___________ in me. _____ _____ the vine, ye are 
the ____________ : He that ________________ in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth forth much _____________ : for without __________ ye can  do
nothing. If a man ________ ____  in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and
is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the ___________ , and
they are burned. If ye ___________ in me, and my ____________ abide in you,
ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be ___________ unto you. Herein is
my ______________ glorified, that ye bear much _____________ ; so shall
ye be my _____________ . As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you:
continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ______________ 
in my love; even as I have _____________ my ______________ commandments, and 
______________ in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy 
might remain in you, and that your ___________ might be full. This is my 
commandment, that ye _____________ one another, ________ I have loved you. 
Greater ___________ hath no man than this, that a man lay down his ____________
for his friends. Ye are my  _________, if ye _________ whatsoever I
command you. Henceforth I call you not ___________; for the servant
knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you __________; for
all things that I have heard of my ___________ I have made known unto
you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have ____________ you, and
____________ you, that ye should go and bring forth ____________ , and
that your fruit should remain: that ____________ ye shall ask of the
Father in my ____________ , he may give it you. These things I command
you, that ye _________ one another. If the  ________ hate you, ye know
that it _________ me before it hated you. If ye were of the __________ ,
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 _______________
you. Remember the __________ that I said unto you, The servant is no
greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also
_______________ you; if they have ___________ my saying, they will keep
yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for my
___________ sake, because they know not ______ that sent me. If I had
not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin; but now they have
no __________ for their sin. He that hateth ______ hateth my ___________
also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin: but now have they both __________ and ____________
both _______ and my ______________ . But this cometh to pass, that the
____________ might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated
me without a ___________ . But when the ____________ is come, whom I
will send unto _________ from the Father, even the Spirit of truth,
which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of ______ :  And
_____ also shall bear ____________ , because ________ have been with me
from the beginning."
