John 15

1 I, am the real vine, and, my Father, is, the husbandman.

'I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman;

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 not bearing fruit, He doth take it away, and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit;

3 Already, ye, are, pure, because of the word which I have spoken unto you:

already ye are clean, because of the word that 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 is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine, so neither ye, if ye may not 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, ye the branches; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit, because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

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 any one may not remain in me, he was cast forth without as the branch, and was withered, and they gather them, and cast to 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 ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain, whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

8 Herein, was my Father glorified, that, much fruit, ye should bear, and become my disciples.

'In this was my Father glorified, that ye may bear much fruit, and ye shall become my disciples.

9 Just as the Father loved me, I also, loved you: Abide ye in my love.

According as the Father did love me, I also 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 my commandments ye may keep, ye shall remain in my love, according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do 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.

these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain, and your joy may be full.

12 This, is my own commandment, That ye be loving one another, just as I loved you.

'This is my command, that ye love one another, according as I did love you;

13 Greater love than this, hath, no one, That, his life, one should lay down in behalf of his friends.

greater love than this hath no one, that any one his life may lay down for his friends;

14 Ye, are, friends of mine, if ye be doing that which, I, am commanding you.

ye are my friends, if ye may 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 more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make 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.

'Ye did not choose out me, but I chose out you, and did appoint you, that ye might go away, and might bear fruit, and your fruit might remain, that whatever ye may ask of the Father in my name, He may give you.

17 These things, I command you, That ye be loving one another.

'These things I command you, that ye 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 doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before 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 of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not — but I chose out of the world — because of this the world hateth 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 me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;

21 But, all these things, will they do unto you, on account of my name, because they know not him that sent me.

but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known 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 were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.

23 He that hateth me, hateth, my Father also.

'He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;

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 did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and 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 — that the word may be fulfilled that 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;

'And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;

27 And do, ye also, bear witness, because, from the beginning, ye are, with me,

and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.
