< John 15 >

1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.
I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man.
2 He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have 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 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.
Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you.
4 Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not 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, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
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 a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.
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 are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.
Yf ye byde in me and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will and it shalbe done to you.
8 Here is my Father's glory, in that you give much fruit and so are my true disciples.
Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.
9 Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.
As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love.
10 If you keep my laws, you will be ever in my love, even as I have kept my Father's laws, and am ever 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 said these things to you so that I may have joy in you and so that your joy may be complete.
These thinges have I spoken vnto you yt my ioye myght remayne in you and that youre ioye might be full.
12 This is the law I give you: Have love one for another, even as I have love for you.
This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life 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 do what I give you orders to do.
Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.
15 No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.
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 take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.
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 So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.
18 If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you.
19 If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.
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 Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will 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 They will do all this to you because of my name — because they have no knowledge of him who 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 had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give 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 He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.
He that hateth me hateth my father.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for 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 This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.
eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause.
26 When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father — he will give witness about 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 And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.
And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge.
