John 15

1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.

I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man.

2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth 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 now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.

Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you 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; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For 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 anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.

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 abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall 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 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.

Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.

9 As the Father has loved me, so I have 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 keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts 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 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.

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 precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you.

13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down 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 instruct you.

Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.

15 I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to 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 have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give 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 This I command you: that you love one another.

This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.

18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.

Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you.

19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, 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 my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.

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 all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know 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 had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But 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 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.

He that hateth me hateth my father.

24 If I had not accomplished among them works that no other person has accomplished, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen me, and they have hated 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 this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’

eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause.

26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony 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 shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”

And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge.
