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.
John 15
Revised Geneva Translation
15 “I am the true Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.
2 “Every branch that does not bear fruit in Me, He takes away. And every one that bears fruit, He prunes it, so that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 “Now, you are clean, through the Word which I have spoken to you.
4 “Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the Vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit. For without Me, you can do nothing.
6 “If one does not abide in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and withers. And they are gathered up and cast into the fire, and they burn.
7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it shall be done to you.
8 “In this My Father is glorified, so that you bear much fruit and are made My disciples.
9 “As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Continue in My love.
10 “If you shall keep My Commandments, you shall abide in My love (as I have kept My Father’s Commandments and abide in His love).
11 “These things I have spoken to you, so that My joy might remain in you and that your joy might be full.
12 “This is My Commandment: that you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 “No one has greater love than this: when he lays down his life for his friends.
14 “You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
15 “I no longer call you servants. For the servant does not know what his master does. But I have called you friends. For all things that I have heard from My Father, I have made known to you.
16 “You have not chosen Me. But I have chosen you, and ordained you, so that you go and bring forth fruits and that your fruit remains, so that whatever you shall ask of the Father in My Name, He may give it you.
17 “These things I command you, so that you love one another.
18 “If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you.
19 “If you were of the world, the world would love his own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 “Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘the servant is not greater than his master’. If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept My Word, they will also keep yours.
21 “But all these things they will do to you for My Name’s sake, because they have not known Him who sent Me.
22 “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin. But now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 “Whoever hates Me, hates My Father also.
24 “If I had not done works among those whom no other did, they would not have sin. Now, however, they have both seen and hated both My Father and Me.
25 But this is so the Word which is written in their Law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause’.
26 “But when that Comforter shall come, Whom I will send to you from the Father (even the Spirit of Truth, Who proceeds from the Father) He shall testify of Me.
27 “And you also shall witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”
