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 gardener.
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 does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Nowe are ye cleane through the worde, which I haue spoken vnto you.
You are already clean because 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.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain 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 are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from 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 anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and withers; and they gather them, throw 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 you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for 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 bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 As the father hath loued me, so haue I loued you: continue in that my loue.
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
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 will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain 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.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 This is my commandement, that ye loue one another, as I haue loued you.
"This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Greater loue then this hath no man, when any man bestoweth his life for his friendes.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays 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 whatever 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.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from 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 did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
17 These things commaund I you, that ye loue one another.
"I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 If the worlde hate you, ye knowe that it hated me before you.
If the world hates you, you know that it has 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 you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose 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 that I said to you: 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they 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 will they do to you because of my name, because they do not know 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 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 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 one else did, they would not have had sin. But now have they seen and also 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 happened so that the word may be fulfilled which 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.
"When the Helper has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Rukha of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 And ye shall witnesse also, because ye haue bene with me from the beginning.
And you will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
