John 15

Wycliffe Bible

15 I am a very vine, and my Father is an earth-tiller.

² Each branch in me that beareth not fruit, he shall take away it [he shall do it away]; and each that beareth fruit, he shall purge it, that it bear the more fruit [that it bear more fruit].

³ Now ye be clean, for the word that I have spoken to you.

⁴ Dwell ye in me, and I in you; as a branch may not make fruit of itself, but it dwell in the vine, so neither ye, but ye dwell in me.

⁵ I am the vine, ye be the branches. Who that dwelleth in me, and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me, ye be able to nothing do.^[a]

⁶ If any man dwelleth not in me, he shall be cast out as a branch, and shall wax dry; and they shall gather him, and they shall cast him into the fire, and he shall burn [and he burneth].

⁷ If ye dwell in me, and my words dwell in you, whatever thing ye will [whatever thing ye shall desire], ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

⁸ In this thing my Father is clarified, that ye bring forth full much fruit, and that ye be made my disciples.

⁹ As my Father loved me, I have loved you; dwell ye in my love.

¹⁰ If ye keep my commandments, ye shall dwell in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and dwell in his love.

¹¹ These things I spake to you, that my joy be in you, and your joy be full-filled [and your joy be filled].

¹² This is my commandment, that ye love together, as I have loved you.

¹³ No man hath more love than this, that a man put his life for his friends.

¹⁴ Ye be my friends if ye do those things, that I command to you.

¹⁵ Now I shall not call you servants, for the servant knoweth not, what his lord shall do; but I have called you friends, for all things whatever I heard of my Father, I have made known to you.

¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me, but I chose you; and I have put you [and put you], that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and your fruit dwell; that whatever thing ye [shall] ask the Father in my name, he give to you.

¹⁷ These things I command to you, that ye love together.

¹⁸ If the world hate you, know ye, that it had me in hate rather than you [know ye, for it had me in hate first than you].

¹⁹ If ye had been of the world, the world should love that thing that was his; but for ye be not of the world, but I chose you from the world, therefore the world hateth you.

²⁰ Have ye mind of my word, which I said to you [that I said to you], The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have pursued me, they shall pursue you also; if they have kept my word, they shall keep yours also.

²¹ But they shall do to you all these things for my name, for they know not him that sent me.

²² If I had not come, and had not spoken to them, they should not have sin; but now they have none excusation of their sin [forsooth now they have not excusing of their sin].

²³ He that hateth me, hateth also my Father.

²⁴ If I had not done the works in them, which none other man did, they should not have sin; but now both they have seen, and hated/have hated me and my Father.

²⁵ But that the word be fulfilled, that is written in their law, For they had me in hate without cause.

²⁶ But when the comforter shall come, which I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which cometh forth of the Father [which proceedeth, or cometh forth, of the Father], he shall bear witnessing of me;

²⁷ and ye shall bear witnessing, for ye be with me from the beginning.
