John 15
1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
2 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.
Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:
You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 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.
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
5 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.
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 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.
If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 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.
If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.
“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.
Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
10 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.
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, have I spoken unto you, that, my own joy, in you, may be, and, your joy, may be made full.
I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.
“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.
You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 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.
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
16 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.
You didn’t 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, I command you, That ye be loving one another.
“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
18 If, the world, is hating, you, ye are getting to know that, me, before you, it hath hated.
If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
19 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.
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 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.
Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.
But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
22 Had I not come and spoken unto them, Sin, had they none; but, now, have they no, excuse, for their sin.
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 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.
If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
25 But…that the word which, in their law, is written, might be fulfilled—They hated me without cause.
But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
26 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;
“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,
You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
