< 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 beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he trimmeth it, 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 Now ye are clean through the word which 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. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except 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, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth 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 If a man abideth not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are 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 ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done 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 my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, 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 remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
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 commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man 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 whatever I command you.
Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things 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 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatever ye shall ask of 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 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder.
18 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore 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 said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, 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 will they do to you for my name’s sake, 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 spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke 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 that hateth me hateth my Father also.
He that hateth me hateth my father.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man hath done, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and 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 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that 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 is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify concerning 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 ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge.
