John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.
3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.
5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
I, am the vine: Ye, are the branches. He that abideth in me and, I, in him, the same, beareth much fruit; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
6 If a man does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.
7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.
8 “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
9 Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
14 You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.
17 “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.
21 But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me.
But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
23 He who hates me, hates my Father also.
He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
26 “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;
27 You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
