John 15

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

I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the farmer.

2 Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Every branch in me not bearing fruit, he removes it. And every branch that bears fruit, he prunes it, so that it may bear more fruit.

3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

Now ye are clean because of the word that 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, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

Dwell in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it dwells in the grapevine, so neither ye, if ye do not dwell in me.

5 I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.

I am the grapevine, ye are the branches. He who dwells in me, and I in him, this man bears much fruit, because without me ye can do nothing.

6 If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and case him into the fire, and be burneth.

If any man does not dwell in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and are burned.

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

If ye dwell in me, and my sayings dwell in you, ye will ask whatever ye may want, and it will be done to you.

8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.

By this my Father is glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye will become my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.

As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Dwell ye in my love.

10 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father’s commandments, and do abide in his love.

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

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

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

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

This is my commandment, that ye love each other, just as I have loved you.

13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Greater love has no man than this, that some man lay down his life for his friends.

14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.

Ye are my friends, if ye do as many things as I command you.

15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

I no longer call you bondmen, because the bondman does not know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I made known to you.

16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

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

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

These things I command you, so that ye may love each other.

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

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

19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own, but because ye are not of the world (instead I chose you out of the world), because of this the world hates you.

20 Remember my word that I said to you: The servant 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 yours also.

Remember the word that I said to you, A bondman is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.

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

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

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

23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.

He who hates me hates my Father also.

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

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

25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.

But, that the word that is written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause.

26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.

But when the helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, that will testify about me.

27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.

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