John 15
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine-grower.
εγω ειμι η αμπελοσ η αληθινη και ο πατηρ μου ο γεωργοσ εστιν
2 Any unfruitful branch in me he takes away, and he cleanses every fruitful branch, so that it may bear more fruit.
παν κλημα εν εμοι μη φερον καρπον αιρει αυτο και παν το καρπον φερον καθαιρει αυτο ινα πλειονα καρπον φερη
3 You are already clean because of the message that I have given you.
ηδη υμεισ καθαροι εστε δια τον λογον ον λελαληκα υμιν
4 Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.
μεινατε εν εμοι καγω εν υμιν καθωσ το κλημα ου δυναται καρπον φερειν αφ εαυτου εαν μη μεινη εν τη αμπελω ουτωσ ουδε υμεισ εαν μη εν εμοι μεινητε
5 I am the vine, you are the branches. If you remains united to me, while I remain united to you – you bear fruit plentifully; for you can do nothing apart from me.
εγω ειμι η αμπελοσ υμεισ τα κληματα ο μενων εν εμοι καγω εν αυτω ουτοσ φερει καρπον πολυν οτι χωρισ εμου ου δυνασθε ποιειν ουδεν
6 If anyone does not remain united to me, they are thrown away, as a branch would be, and withers up. Such branches are collected and thrown into the fire, and are burnt.
εαν μη τισ μεινη εν εμοι εβληθη εξω ωσ το κλημα και εξηρανθη και συναγουσιν αυτα και εισ το πυρ βαλλουσιν και καιεται
7 If you remain united to me, and my teaching remains in your hearts, ask whatever you wish, and it will be yours.
εαν μεινητε εν εμοι και τα ρηματα μου εν υμιν μεινη ο εαν θελητε αιτησεσθε και γενησεται υμιν
8 It is by your bearing fruit plentifully, and so showing yourselves my disciples, that my Father is honored.
εν τουτω εδοξασθη ο πατηρ μου ινα καρπον πολυν φερητε και γενησεσθε εμοι μαθηται
9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; remain in my love.
καθωσ ηγαπησεν με ο πατηρ καγω ηγαπησα υμασ μεινατε εν τη αγαπη τη εμη
10 If you lay my commands to heart, you will remain in my love; just as I have laid the Father’s commands to heart and remain in his love.
εαν τασ εντολασ μου τηρησητε μενειτε εν τη αγαπη μου καθωσ εγω τασ εντολασ του πατροσ μου τετηρηκα και μενω αυτου εν τη αγαπη
11 I have told you all this so that my own joy may be yours, and that your joy may be complete.
ταυτα λελαληκα υμιν ινα η χαρα η εμη εν υμιν μεινη και η χαρα υμων πληρωθη
12 This is my command – love one another, as I have loved you.
αυτη εστιν η εντολη η εμη ινα αγαπατε αλληλουσ καθωσ ηγαπησα υμασ
13 No one can give greater proof of love than by laying down their life for their friends.
μειζονα ταυτησ αγαπην ουδεισ εχει ινα τισ την ψυχην αυτου θη υπερ των φιλων αυτου
14 And you are my friends, if you do what I command you.
υμεισ φιλοι μου εστε εαν ποιητε οσα εγω εντελλομαι υμιν
15 I no longer call you ‘servants,’ because a servant does not know what their master is doing; but I have given you the name of ‘friends,’ because I made known to you everything that I learned from my Father.
ουκετι υμασ λεγω δουλουσ οτι ο δουλοσ ουκ οιδεν τι ποιει αυτου ο κυριοσ υμασ δε ειρηκα φιλουσ οτι παντα α ηκουσα παρα του πατροσ μου εγνωρισα υμιν
16 It wasn’t you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my name.
ουχ υμεισ με εξελεξασθε αλλ εγω εξελεξαμην υμασ και εθηκα υμασ ινα υμεισ υπαγητε και καρπον φερητε και ο καρποσ υμων μενη ινα ο τι αν αιτησητε τον πατερα εν τω ονοματι μου δω υμιν
17 I am giving you these commands that you may love one another.
ταυτα εντελλομαι υμιν ινα αγαπατε αλληλουσ
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has first hated me.
ει ο κοσμοσ υμασ μισει γινωσκετε οτι εμε πρωτον υμων μεμισηκεν
19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world – that is why the world hates you.
ει εκ του κοσμου ητε ο κοσμοσ αν το ιδιον εφιλει οτι δε εκ του κοσμου ουκ εστε αλλ εγω εξελεξαμην υμασ εκ του κοσμου δια τουτο μισει υμασ ο κοσμοσ
20 Remember what I said to you – ‘A servant is not greater than their master.’ If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have laid my message to heart, they will lay yours to heart also.
μνημονευετε του λογου ου εγω ειπον υμιν ουκ εστιν δουλοσ μειζων του κυριου αυτου ει εμε εδιωξαν και υμασ διωξουσιν ει τον λογον μου ετηρησαν και τον υμετερον τηρησουσιν
21 But they will do all this to you, because you believe in my name, for they do not know him who sent me.
αλλα ταυτα παντα ποιησουσιν υμιν δια το ονομα μου οτι ουκ οιδασιν τον πεμψαντα με
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have had no sin to answer for; but as it is, they have no excuse for their sin.
ει μη ηλθον και ελαλησα αυτοισ αμαρτιαν ουκ ειχον νυν δε προφασιν ουκ εχουσιν περι τησ αμαρτιασ αυτων
23 The person who hates me hates my Father also.
ο εμε μισων και τον πατερα μου μισει
24 If I had not done among them such work as no one else ever did, they would have had no sin to answer for; but, as it is, they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
ει τα εργα μη εποιησα εν αυτοισ α ουδεισ αλλοσ πεποιηκεν αμαρτιαν ουκ ειχον νυν δε και εωρακασιν και μεμισηκασιν και εμε και τον πατερα μου
25 And so is fulfilled what is said in their Law – ‘They hated me without cause.’
αλλ ινα πληρωθη ο λογοσ ο γεγραμμενοσ εν τω νομω αυτων οτι εμισησαν με δωρεαν
26 But, when the helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father – the Spirit of truth, who comes from the Father – will bear testimony to me;
οταν δε ελθη ο παρακλητοσ ον εγω πεμψω υμιν παρα του πατροσ το πνευμα τησ αληθειασ ο παρα του πατροσ εκπορευεται εκεινοσ μαρτυρησει περι εμου
27 yes, and you also are to bear testimony, because you have been with me from the first.
και υμεισ δε μαρτυρειτε οτι απ αρχησ μετ εμου εστε
