< John 15 >

1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator.
I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man.
2 Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.
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 Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you.
Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye 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, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can 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 And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be 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 But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to 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 is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples.
Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.
9 As my Father hath loved me, I also have loved you: abide ye in the love of me.
As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love.
10 If ye shall keep my commands, ye will abide in the love of me, as I have kept the commands of my Father, and 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 have I spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and 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 my command, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you.
13 There is no greater love than this, that a man 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 Ye are my friends, if ye do all that I command you.
Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.
15 I no longer call you servants; because a servant knoweth not what his lord doeth; but I have called you my friends; because, whatever 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 It is not ye that chose me, but I that have chosen you; and I have appointed you, that ye also should go and yield fruits, and that your fruits should continue; so that whatever ye may ask of my Father in my name, he may give it 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 These things I command you, that ye should love one another.
This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.
18 And if the world hate you, know ye, that it hated me before you.
Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you.
19 And if ye were of the world, the world would love what is of it. But ye are not of the world, for I have chosen you out of the world; for this cause, the world hateth 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 the word that I spoke to you, That there is no servant, who is greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; and if they have observed my teaching, they will also observe 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 But all these things will they do to you, on account of my name, because they know not him that 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 discoursed with them, sin would not have been to them; but now there is no excuse for their sins.
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 that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
He that hateth me hateth my father.
24 If I had not wrought before them works which no other person ever did, sin would not have been to them: but now they have seen, and have hated, both 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 so that in them will be fulfilled the word which is written in their law: They hated me, without a cause.
eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause.
26 But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send to you from my Father, that Spirit of truth who proceedeth from the Father, He will testify of 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 do ye also testify; for ye have been with me from the beginning.
And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge.
