< 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 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 that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto 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.
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide 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 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 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 a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they 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 abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and [so] shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
Even as the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide 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 shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide 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 have I spoken unto you, that my joy may be in you, and [that] your joy may be fulfilled.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even 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 hath no man than this, that a 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 the things which 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.
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 that I heard from my Father I have made known unto 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 me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] 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, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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 unto 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 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 will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that 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 unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
He that hateth me hateth 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 which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they 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 [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 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 Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall bear witness of me:
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
