John 15
1 "I am the vine, and my Father the vine-grower.
I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
2 "He cuts back any of my branches that bear no fruit, and prunes every fruit-bearing branch, that it may bear more.
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, He taketh it away; and, every one that beareth, fruit, He pruneth it, that, more fruit, it may bear.
3 "Now you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.
Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
4 "Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself except it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me.
Abide in me, and, I, in you. Just as, the branch, cannot be bearing fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, so, neither, ye, except, in me, ye abide.
5 "I am the Vine you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him, bears abundant fruit; because apart from 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; because, apart from me, ye can bring forth, nothing.
6 "If any one does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers. Such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire and burned.
If one abide not me, he is cast out as the branch, and withered, and they gather them, —and, into fire, they cast them, and they are burned.
7 "If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask whatever your will is, and it shall be yours.
If ye abide in me, and, my sayings, in you, abide, whatsoever ye may be desiring, ask! and it shall be brought to pass for you.
8 "By this is my Father glorified, by your bearing abundant fruit, and so being my disciples.
Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
9 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love.
Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
10 "If you obey my commands you will abide in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and abide in his love.
If, my commandments, ye keep, ye shall abide in my love, —just as, I, the Father’s commandments, have kept, and abide in his love.
11 "I have told you these things that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
These things, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
12 "This is my command, Love one another as I have loved you.
This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
13 "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
14 "You are my friends if you do what I command you.
Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
15 "I no longer call you slaves, because a slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have learned from my Father.
No longer, do I call you, servants, for, the servant, knoweth not what, his lord, is doing. But, you, I have called, friends, because, all things which I heard from my Father, made I known unto you.
16 "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; so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
Not, ye, chose, me, but, I, chose you, and placed you, that ye should go your way and bear, fruit, —and, your fruit, should abide: that, whatsoever ye should ask the Father in my name, he might give unto you.
17 "This is my command. to love one another. If the worlds hates you,
These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
18 "do not forget that it hated me first.
If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
19 "If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you.
If, of the world, ye had been, the world, of its own, had been fond; but, because, of the world, ye are not, on the contrary, I, chose you out of the world, therefore, the world, doth hate you.
20 "Remember what I told you, ‘A slave is not better than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you. If they have obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.
Remember the word which, I, spake unto you: A servant is not greater than his lord. If, me, they persecuted, you too, will they persecute, —If, my word, they kept, your own also, will they keep.
21 "But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they know not Him who sent me.
But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
23 "He who hates me hates my Father also.
He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.
24 "If I had not done among them such works as none ever did, they would have had no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
Had I not done among them, the works, which, no other, had done, sin, had they none; but, now, have they, both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 "And so is fulfilled the word written in their Law, ‘They hate me without cause.’
But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
26 "When the Comforter is come whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth who comes forth from the Father, he will bear witness of me;
Whensoever the Advocate shall come, Whom, I, will send unto you from the Father, The Spirit of truth, which, from the Father, cometh forth, He, will bear witness concerning me;
27 "and you to shall bear witness because you have been with me from the first.
And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
