John 15
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
The Vine and the Branches
15 ‘I am(A) the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes,(B) and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. 3 You are already clean(C) because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.(D) 5 I am the vine;(E) you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit,(F) because you can do nothing without me. 6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside(G) like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire,(H) and they are burned.(I) 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.(J) 8 My Father is glorified(K) by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be[a] my disciples.
Christlike Love
9 ‘As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love.(L) 10 If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.(M)
11 ‘I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.(N)
12 ‘This is my command: Love one another as I have loved(O) you. 13 No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life(P) for his friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants any more, because a servant doesn’t know what his master[b](Q) is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you.(R) I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask(S) the Father in my name,(T) he will give you.(U)
17 ‘This is what I command you: Love one another.
Persecutions Predicted
18 ‘If the world hates(V) you, understand that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen(W) you out of it, the world hates you. 20 Remember the word I spoke to you: “A servant is not greater than his master.”(X) If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word,(Y) they will also keep yours. 21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name,(Z) because they don’t know(AA) the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.(AB) Now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 The one who hates me also hates my Father.(AC) 24 If I had not done the works(AD) among them that no one else has done,(AE) they would not be guilty of sin.(AF) Now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this happened so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled:(AG) They hated me for no reason.[c](AH)
The Counsellor’s Ministry
26 ‘When the Counsellor(AI) comes, the one I will send to you from the Father(AJ) #– #the Spirit of truth(AK) who proceeds from the Father – he will testify about me. 27 You also will testify,(AL) because you have been with me from the beginning.
Johannes 15
Det Norsk Bibelselskap 1930
15 Jeg er det sanne vintre, og min Fader er vingårdsmannen.
2 Hver gren på mig som ikke bærer frukt, den tar han bort, og hver den som bærer frukt, den renser han, forat den skal bære mere frukt.
3 I er alt rene på grunn av det ord som jeg har talt til eder;
4 bli i mig, så blir jeg i eder! Likesom grenen ikke kan bære frukt av sig selv, men bare når den blir i vintreet, således heller ikke I uten at I blir i mig.
5 Jeg er vintreet, I er grenene; den som blir i mig, og jeg i ham, han bærer megen frukt; for uten mig kan I intet gjøre.
6 Om nogen ikke blir i mig, da kastes han ut som en gren og visner, og de sankes sammen og kastes på ilden, og de brenner.
7 Dersom I blir i mig, og mine ord blir i eder, da bed om hvad I vil, og I skal få det.
8 Derved er min Fader herliggjort at I bærer megen frukt, og I skal bli mine disipler.
9 Likesom Faderen har elsket mig, så har jeg elsket eder; bli i min kjærlighet!
10 Dersom I holder mine bud, da blir I i min kjærlighet, likesom jeg har holdt min Faders bud og blir i hans kjærlighet.
11 Dette har jeg talt til eder forat min glede kan være i eder, og eders glede kan bli fullkommen.
12 Dette er mitt bud at I skal elske hverandre, likesom jeg har elsket eder.
13 Ingen har større kjærlighet enn denne at han setter sitt liv til for sine venner;
14 I er mine venner dersom I gjør det jeg byder eder.
15 Jeg kaller eder ikke lenger tjenere; for tjeneren vet ikke hvad hans herre gjør; men eder har jeg kalt venner, for alt det jeg har hørt av min Fader, har jeg kunngjort eder.
16 I har ikke utvalgt mig, men jeg har utvalgt eder, og jeg har satt eder til å gå ut og bære frukt, frukt som varer, forat Faderen skal gi eder alt det I beder ham om i mitt navn.
17 Dette byder jeg eder at I skal elske hverandre.
18 Når verden hater eder, da skal I vite at den har hatet mig før eder.
19 Var I av verden, da vilde verden elske sitt eget; men fordi I ikke er av verden, men jeg har utvalgt eder av verden, derfor hater verden eder.
20 Kom det ord i hu som jeg sa eder: En tjener er ikke større enn sin herre! Har de forfulgt mig, så skal de også forfølge eder; har de holdt mitt ord, så skal de også holde eders.
21 Men alt dette skal de gjøre mot eder for mitt navns skyld, fordi de ikke kjenner ham som har sendt mig.
22 Var jeg ikke kommet og hadde talt til dem, da hadde de ikke synd; men nu har de ingen undskyldning for sin synd.
23 Den som hater mig, han hater også min Fader.
24 Hadde jeg ikke gjort de gjerninger blandt dem som ingen annen har gjort, da hadde de ikke synd; men nu har de sett dem og allikevel hatet både mig og min Fader.
25 Men dette er skjedd forat det ord skal opfylles som er skrevet i deres lov: De hatet mig uten årsak.
26 Når talsmannen kommer, som jeg skal sende eder fra Faderen, sannhetens Ånd, som utgår fra Faderen, han skal vidne om mig.
27 Men også I skal vidne; for I har vært med mig fra begynnelsen av.
John 15
King James Version
15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto 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.
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.
6 If a man abide 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.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye 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.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command 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 of my Father I have made known unto 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 whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto 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.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both 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.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
