< John 15 >
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man.
2 Every branch in me not producing fruit, He takes it away: and every one producing fruit, He purifies it, that it may produce more fruit.
Every braunche that beareth not frute in me he will take awaye. And every braunche that beareth frute will he pourge yt it maye bringe moare frute.
3 So ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to produce fruit of itself, unless it may abide in the vine; so you are not able, unless you may abide in me.
Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me.
5 I am the vine, and ye are the branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: because you are not able to do anything without me.
I am the vyne and ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me and I in him the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge.
6 If any one may not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch, and withered; and they gather it, and cast it into the fire, and it is burnt.
Yf a man byde not in me he ys cast forthe as a braunche and is wyddered: and men gadder it and cast it into the fyre and it burneth.
7 If you may abide in me, and my words may abide in you, ask whatsoever you may wish, and it shall be done unto you.
Yf ye byde in me and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will and it shalbe done to you.
8 In this my Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and ye shall be my disciples.
Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.
9 As the Father loved me, I also loved you: abide in my love.
As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love.
10 If you may keep my commandments, abide in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and I abide in His love.
Yf ye shall kepe my comaudemetes ye shall byde in my love eve as I have kept my fathers comaundementes and byde in his love.
11 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
These thinges have I spoken vnto you yt my ioye myght remayne in you and that youre ioye might be full.
12 This is my commandment, that you may love one another, as I loved you.
This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you.
13 No one has greater love than this, that he may lay down his soul for his friends.
Gretter love then this hath no man then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes.
14 You are my friends, if you may do those things which I command you.
Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.
15 No longer do I call you servants; because the servant knows not what his lord is doing: but I have called you friends; because all things which I heard with my Father, I made known unto you.
Hence forth call I you not servauntes: for the servaunt knoweth not what his Lorde doeth. But you have I called frendes: for all thinges that I have hearde of my father I have opened to you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you, and placed you in your position, that you may go forth and bear fruit, and your fruit may abide: in order that He may give you whatsoever you may ask in my name.
Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you.
17 I command these things unto you, that you must love one another with divine love.
This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.
18 If the world hates you, know that it first hated me.
Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you.
19 If you were 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, on this account the world hates you.
Yf ye were of the worlde ye worlde wolde love his awne. How be it because ye are not of ye worlde but I have chosen you out of the worlde therfore hateth you the worlde.
20 Remember the word which I spoke to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the servaute is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge so will they kepe youres.
21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know Him that sent me.
But all these thinges will they do vnto you for my names sake because they have not knowen him that sent me.
22 If I did not come and speak to them, they had not sin: now they have no excuse for their sin.
If I had not come and spoken vnto them they shulde not have had synne: but now have they nothinge to cloke their synne with all.
23 The one hating me hates my Father also.
He that hateth me hateth my father.
24 If I did not works among them which no other did: they had not sin: but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
If I had not done workes amoge the which none other ma dyd they had not had synne. But now have they sene and yet have hated bothe me and my father:
25 But in order that the word having been written in their law may be fulfilled, That they hated me gratuitously.
eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause.
26 When the Comforter, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, may come, He will witness concerning me,
But when the comforter is come whom I will sende vnto you fro the father which is the sprete of truthe which proceadeth of the father he shall testifie of me.
27 but you indeed are witnesses, because you are with me from the beginning.
And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge.
