John 15

1 I myself am the vine true, and the Father of Mine the vinedresser is.

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

2 Every branch in Me myself not bearing fruit He takes away it, and every one fruit bearing He prunes it that fruit more it may bear.

Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.

3 Already you yourselves clean are because of the word that I have spoken to you.

You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 do abide in Me myself and I myself and I myself in you. Even as the branch not is able fruit to bear of itself only unless (it shall abide *N+kO) in the vine, so neither [are able] you only unless in Me myself (you shall abide. *N+kO)

Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.

5 I myself am the vine, you [are] the branches. The [one] abiding in Me myself and I myself and I myself in him, he bears fruit much; For apart from Me not you are able to do no [thing].

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 Only unless someone (shall abide *N+kO) in Me myself, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and into the fire cast, and it is burned.

If a man does not 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 you shall abide in Me myself and the declarations of Mine in you shall abide, whatever if you shall wish (do yourself ask *N+kO) and it will happen to 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 In this is glorified the Father of Mine, that fruit much you may bear and (you may become *N+kO) to Me disciples.

“In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.

9 even as has loved Me the Father, I myself also I myself also you loved; do abide in the love of Mine.

Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.

10 If the commandments of Mine you shall keep, you will abide in the love of Mine; even as I myself the commandments of the Father of Mine have kept, and I abide of Him in the 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 I have spoken to you that joy of Mine in you (may be *N+KO) and the joy of you may be 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 commandment of Mine that you may love one another even as I loved you.

“This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

13 Greater than this love no [one] has that one the life of him may lay down for the friends of him.

Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

14 You yourselves friends of Mine are if you shall do (what things *n+o) (as much as *K) I myself command you.

You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.

15 no longer no longer I name you servants, for the servant not knows what is doing his master; You however I have called friends, because all things that I heard from the Father of Mine I have made known to you.

No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not 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 you yourselves Me chose, but I myself chose you and appointed you that you yourselves may go and fruit you may bear, and the fruit of you may remain; so that (which one *NK+o) maybe you may ask the Father in the name of Me, He may give you.

You did not 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 you may love one another.

“I command these things to you, that you may love one another.

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

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

19 If of the world you were, the world then would [as its] own was loving [you]; because however of the world not you are, but I myself chose you out of the world, on account of this hates you the world.

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 do remember the word that I myself said to you: Not is a servant greater than the master of him. If Me myself they persecuted also you they will persecute; if the word of Mine they kept also yours they will 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 these things all they will do (against *no) (you *N+kO) on account of the name of Me, because not they know the [One] having sent Me.

But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they do not know him who sent me.

22 only unless I come and I said to them, sin not they had; now however excuse not they have for the sin of them.

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 The [one] Me myself hating also the Father of Mine hates.

He who hates me, hates my Father also.

24 If the works not I had done among them that no other (did, *N+kO) sin not they had; now however both they have seen and have hated both Me myself and the Father of Mine;

If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.

25 But [this is] that may be fulfilled the word in the law of them written that 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 When (now *ko) may come the Helper whom I myself will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who from the Father goes 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 Also you yourselves now bear witness, because from [the] beginning with Me you are.

You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
