John 15

1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit he cleanseth, that it may bear more fruit.

3 Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.

Ye are clean already, 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, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.

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

5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye 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; for apart from me ye can do nothing.

6 Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

If any one abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burned.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.

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

8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will become my disciples.

9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.

10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

If ye keep my commandments, ye will abide in my love, even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

11 I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.

These things have I spoken to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.

12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.

Greater love hath no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.

Ye are my friends, if ye do what I command you.

15 I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.

No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things which I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.

Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever ye ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

This I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you.

If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours.

Remember what I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my words, they will keep yours also.

21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.

But all these things will they do to 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 had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 He that hates me hates also my Father.

He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.

But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their Law: “They hated me without a cause.”

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, he shall bear witness concerning me;

When the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he will bear witness of me.

27 and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.

And ye also are witnesses, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
