- 17 The sin we committed at Peor was bad enough. To this very day we have not purified ourselves; it even brought a plague on the community of the LORD.

- 25 The LORD made the Jordan a boundary between us and you Reubenites and Gadites. You have no right to worship the LORD.' In this way your descendants might cause our descendants to stop obeying the LORD.
- 26 So we decided to build this altar, not for burnt offerings and sacrifices,
- 27 but as a reminder to us and you, and to our descendants who follow us, that we will honor the LORD in his very presence with burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace. Then in the future your descendants will not be able to say to our descendants, 'You have no right to worship the LORD.'
- 28 We said, 'If in the future they say such a thing to us or to our descendants, we will reply, "See the model of the LORD's altar that our ancestors made, not for burnt offerings or sacrifices, but as a reminder to us and you."'
- 29 Far be it from us to rebel against the LORD by turning back today from following after the LORD by building an altar for burnt offerings, sacrifices, and tokens of peace aside from the altar of the LORD our God located in front of his dwelling place!"

- 1 "I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
- 2 He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
- 3 You are clean already because of the word that I have spoken to you.
- 4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot 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. The one who remains in me� and I in him� bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.
- 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up.
- 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
- 8 My Father is honored by this, that you bear much fruit and show that you are my disciples.
- 9 "Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain in my love.
- 10 If you obey my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commandments and remain in his love.
- 11 I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.
- 12 My commandment is this� to love one another just as I have loved you.
- 13 No one has greater love than this� that one lays down his life for his friends.
- 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you.
- 15 I no longer call you slaves, because the slave does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything I heard from my Father.
- 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that remains, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
- 17 This I command you� to love one another.
- 18 "If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me first.
- 19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you do not belong to the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this reason the world hates you.
- 20 Remember what I told you, 'A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours too.
- 21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me.
- 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.
- 23 The one who hates me hates my Father too.
- 24 If I had not performed among them the miraculous deeds that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen the deeds and have hated both me and my Father.
- 25 Now this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their law, 'They hated me without reason.'
- 26 When the Advocate comes, whom I will send you from the Father� the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father� he will testify about me,

- 16 I say again, let no one think that I am a fool. But if you do, then at least accept me as a fool, so that I too may boast a little.

- 18 Since many are boasting according to human standards, I too will boast.
- 19 For since you are so wise, you put up with fools gladly.
- 20 For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone behaves arrogantly toward you, if someone strikes you in the face.
- 21 (To my disgrace I must say that we were too weak for that!) But whatever anyone else dares to boast about (I am speaking foolishly), I also dare to boast about the same thing.
- 22 Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
