< 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 farmer.
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 bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purges it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
Now all of you are clean through the word (logos) which I have spoken unto 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, except it abide in the vine; no more can all of you, except all of 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, all of you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit: for without me all of 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 a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my wordes abide in you, aske what ye wil, and it shalbe done to you.
If all of you abide in me, and my words (rhema) abide in you, all of you shall ask what all of 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.
Herein is my Father glorified, that all of you bear much fruit; so shall all of you be my disciples.
9 As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you: continue all of you in my love. (agape)
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 all of you keep my commandments, all of you shall abide in my love; (agape) even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. (agape)
11 These things haue I spoken vnto you, that my ioy might remaine in you, and that your ioy might be full.
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
This is my commandment, That all of 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 (agape) has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friendes, if ye doe whatsoeuer I commaund you.
All of you are my friends, if all of you do whatsoever 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.
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto 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.
All of you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that all of you should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever all of 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 all of you love one another.
18 If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
If the world hate you, all of you know that it hated me before it hated 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 all of you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because all of you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates 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 the word (logos) that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, (logos) they will keep your 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 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 vnto them, they shoulde not haue had sinne: but nowe haue they no cloke for their sinne.
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
He that hates me hates 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 which no other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they 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 this comes to pass, that the word (logos) might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a 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 Comforter has come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit (pneuma) of truth, which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
And all of you also shall bear witness, because all of you have been with me from the beginning.
