John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
2 He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.
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 clean because of the word 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 will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit 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 and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear 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 anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and 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, ask whatever you wish, 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 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved Me, so have I 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, just 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 told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
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 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 he 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 what 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 a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned 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 I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give 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 This is My command to you: Love one another.
These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
18 If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
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, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
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 spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
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 treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One 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 be guilty of sin. Now, however, 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 Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and 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 is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
26 When the Advocate comes, 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 And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
