< John 15 >
1 I Am that true vine, and my Father is that husband man.
I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Euery branch that beareth not fruite in me, he taketh away: and euery one that beareth fruite, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruite.
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.
3 Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you: as the branche cannot beare fruite of it selfe, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
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.
5 I am that vine: ye are the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruite: for without me can ye doe nothing.
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.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branche, and withereth: and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they burne.
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.
7 If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye beare much fruite, and be made my disciples.
In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
9 As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
10 If ye shall keepe my commandements, ye shall abide in my loue, as I haue kept my Fathers commandements, and abide in his loue.
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.
11 These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
12 This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you.
You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
15 Henceforth call I you not seruants: for the seruant knoweth not what his master doeth: but I haue called you friends: for all things that I haue heard of my Father, haue I made knowen to you.
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.
16 Ye haue not chosen me, but I haue chosen you, and ordeined you, that ye goe and bring foorth fruite, and that your fruite remaine, that whatsoeuer ye shall aske of the Father in my Name, he may giue it you.
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.
17 These things commaund I you, that ye loue one another.
These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
19 If ye were of the worlde, the world woulde loue his owne: but because ye are not of ye world, but I haue chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
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.
20 Remember the word that I said vnto you, The seruant is not greater then his master. If they haue persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they haue kept my worde, they will also keepe yours.
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.
21 But all these things will they doe vnto you for my Names sake, because they haue not knowen him that sent me.
But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken vnto them, they shoulde not haue had sinne: but nowe haue they no cloke for their sinne.
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 hateth me, hateth my Father also.
He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done workes among them which none other man did, they had not had sinne: but nowe haue they both seene, and haue hated both me, and my Father.
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.
25 But it is that the worde might be fulfilled, that is written in their Lawe, They hated me without a cause.
But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
26 But when that Comforter shall come, whom I will send vnto you from the Father, euen the Spirit of trueth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testifie of me.
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.
27 And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
