John 15
Darby Translation
15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
6 Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they 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 come to pass to you.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11 I have spoken these things to you that my joy may be in you, and your joy be full.
12 This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 No one has greater love than this, that one should lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends if ye practise whatever I command you.
15 I call you no longer bondmen, for the bondman does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things which I have heard of my Father I have made known to you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and have set you that ye should go and [that] ye should bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide, that whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he may give you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before 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, on account of this the world hates you.
20 Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours.
21 But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hates me hates also my Father.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, *he* shall bear witness concerning me;
27 and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from [the] beginning.
Juan 15
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Tunay na Puno ng Ubas
15 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Ako ang tunay na puno ng ubas, at ang aking Ama ang tagapag-alaga. 2 Pinuputol niya ang aking mga sangang hindi namumunga, at nililinis niya ang bawat sangang namumunga para lalo pang mamunga. 3 Malinis na kayo dahil sa mga salitang sinabi ko sa inyo. 4 Manatili kayo sa akin at akoʼy mananatili sa inyo. Hindi makakapamunga ang isang sanga malibang nakakabit ito sa puno. Ganoon din naman, hindi kayo makakapamunga kung hindi kayo mananatili sa akin.
5 “Ako ang puno ng ubas, at kayo ang aking mga sanga. Ang taong nananatili sa akin at ako rin sa kanya ay mamumunga nang marami. Sapagkat wala kayong magagawa kung hiwalay kayo sa akin. 6 Ang hindi nananatili sa akin ay tulad ng mga sangang itinatapon at natutuyo, at pagkatapos ay tinitipon at inihahagis sa apoy para sunugin. 7 Kung mananatili kayo sa akin at ang mga salita koʼy mananatili sa inyo, ipagkakaloob ko ang anumang hilingin ninyo. 8 Napaparangalan ang aking Ama kung namumunga kayo nang sagana, at sa ganitong paraan ay naipapakita ninyo na mga tagasunod ko kayo. 9 Mahal ko kayo gaya ng pagmamahal sa akin ng Ama. Manatili kayo sa aking pag-ibig. 10 Kung sinusunod ninyo ang mga utos ko, mananatili ang pag-ibig ko sa inyo. Katulad ko, sinusunod ko ang utos ng aking Ama, kaya nananatili ang kanyang pag-ibig sa akin.
11 “Sinabi ko sa inyo ang bagay na ito para magalak kayo katulad ko at malubos din ang inyong kagalakan. 12 Ito ang aking utos sa inyo: magmahalan kayo katulad ng pagmamahal ko sa inyo. 13 Wala nang pag-ibig na hihigit pa sa pag-ibig ng isang taong nag-alay ng kanyang buhay para sa kanyang mga kaibigan. 14 Mga kaibigan ko kayo kung sinusunod nʼyo ang aking mga utos. 15 Hindi ko na kayo itinuturing na alipin, dahil hindi alam ng alipin kung ano ang ginagawa ng kanyang amo. Sa halip, itinuturing ko na kayong mga kaibigan, dahil sinasabi ko sa inyo ang lahat ng narinig ko sa aking Ama. 16 Hindi kayo ang pumili sa akin kundi ako ang pumili sa inyo, para humayo kayo at mamunga ng mga bungang mananatili. Sa ganoon, anuman ang hingin ninyo sa Ama sa pangalan ko ay ibibigay niya sa inyo. 17 Ito nga ang utos ko sa inyo: magmahalan kayo.”
Ang Galit ng mga Taong Makamundo sa mga Sumasampalataya kay Jesus
18 Sinabi pa ni Jesus, “Kung napopoot sa inyo ang mga taong makamundo, alalahanin ninyo na ako ang una nilang kinapootan. 19 Kung kabilang kayo sa kanila, mamahalin nila kayo. Pero hindi kayo kabilang sa kanila, kundi pinili ko kayo mula sa kanila. Kaya napopoot sila sa inyo. 20 Tandaan nʼyo ang sinabi ko sa inyo na walang aliping mas higit sa kanyang amo. Kung inusig nila ako, uusigin din nila kayo. At kung sinunod nila ang aking salita, susundin din nila ang inyong salita. 21 Uusigin nila kayo dahil sumasampalataya kayo sa akin at dahil hindi nila kilala ang nagsugo sa akin. 22 Kung hindi ako naparito sa mundo at nangaral sa kanila, wala sana silang pananagutan sa kanilang kasalanan. Pero ngayon, wala na silang maidadahilan sa mga kasalanan nila. 23 Ang napopoot sa akin ay napopoot din sa aking Ama. 24 Kung hindi ako gumawa sa harap nila ng mga himalang kailanmaʼy hindi nagawa ninuman, wala sana silang pananagutan sa kanilang kasalanan. Ngunit kahit nakita na nila ang mga himalang ginawa ko, napopoot pa rin sila sa akin at sa aking Ama. 25 Sa ginawa nilang ito, natupad ang nakasulat sa kanilang Kautusan: ‘Napopoot sila sa akin nang walang dahilan.’ ”[a]
26 Pagkatapos, sinabi ni Jesus, “Ipapadala ko sa inyo ang Banal na Espiritu mula sa Ama. Siya ang Tagatulong nʼyo at tagapagturo ng katotohanan. Pagdating niya, magpapatotoo siya kung sino talaga ako. 27 Kayo rin ay dapat na magpatotoo tungkol sa akin, dahil kasama ko na kayo mula pa noong una.

New International Version
The Vine and the Branches
15 “I am(A) the true vine,(B) and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,(C) while every branch that does bear fruit(D) he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(E) 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you.(F) No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;(G) apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.(H) 7 If you remain in me(I) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.(J) 8 This is to my Father’s glory,(K) that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.(L)
9 “As the Father has loved me,(M) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands,(N) you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.(O) 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.(P) 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.(Q) 14 You are my friends(R) if you do what I command.(S) 15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.(T) 16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you(U) so that you might go and bear fruit(V)—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.(W) 17 This is my command: Love each other.(X)
The World Hates the Disciples
18 “If the world hates you,(Y) keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you(Z) out of the world. That is why the world hates you.(AA) 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[b](AB) If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.(AC) If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name,(AD) for they do not know the one who sent me.(AE) 22 If I had not come and spoken to them,(AF) they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.(AG) 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did,(AH) they would not be guilty of sin.(AI) As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:(AJ) ‘They hated me without reason.’[c](AK)
The Work of the Holy Spirit
26 “When the Advocate(AL) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father(AM)—the Spirit of truth(AN) who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.(AO) 27 And you also must testify,(AP) for you have been with me from the beginning.(AQ)

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.
