Juan 15
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
15 Ako ang tunay na puno ng ubas, at ang aking Ama ang magsasaka.
2 Ang bawa't sanga na sa akin ay hindi nagbubunga, ay inaalis niya: at ang bawa't sanga na nagbubunga ay nililinis niya, upang lalong magbunga.
3 Kayo'y malilinis na sa pamamagitan ng salita na sa inyo'y aking sinalita.
4 Kayo'y manatili sa akin, at ako'y sa inyo. Gaya ng sanga na di makapagbunga sa kaniyang sarili maliban na nakakabit sa puno; gayon din naman kayo, maliban na kayo'y manatili sa akin.
5 Ako ang puno ng ubas, kayo ang mga sanga: Ang nananatili sa akin, at ako'y sa kaniya, ay siyang nagbubunga ng marami: sapagka't kung kayo'y hiwalay sa akin ay wala kayong magagawa.
6 Kung ang sinoman ay hindi manatili sa akin, ay siya'y matatapong katulad ng sanga, at matutuyo; at mga titipunin at mga ihahagis sa apoy, at mangasusunog.
7 Kung kayo'y magsipanatili sa akin, at ang mga salita ko'y magsipanatili sa inyo, ay hingin ninyo ang anomang inyong ibigin, at gagawin sa inyo.
8 Sa ganito'y lumuluwalhati ang aking Ama, na kayo'y magsipagbunga ng marami; at gayon kayo'y magiging aking mga alagad.
9 Kung paanong inibig ako ng Ama, ay gayon din naman iniibig ko kayo: magsipanatili kayo sa aking pagibig.
10 Kung tinutupad ninyo ang aking mga utos, ay magsisipanahan kayo sa aking pagibig; gaya ng aking pagtupad sa mga utos ng aking Ama, at ako'y nananatili sa kaniyang pagibig.
11 Ang mga bagay na ito ay sinalita ko sa inyo, upang ang aking kagalakan ay mapasa inyo, at upang ang inyong kagalakan ay malubos.
12 Ito ang aking utos, na kayo'y mangagibigan sa isa't isa, na gaya ng pagibig ko sa inyo.
13 Walang may lalong dakilang pagibig kay sa rito, na ibigay ng isang tao ang kaniyang buhay dahil sa kaniyang mga kaibigan.
14 Kayo'y aking mga kaibigan, kung gawin ninyo ang mga bagay na aking iniuutos sa inyo.
15 Hindi ko na kayo tatawaging mga alipin; sapagka't hindi nalalaman ng alipin kung ano ang ginagawa ng kaniyang panginoon: nguni't tinatawag ko kayong mga kaibigan; sapagka't ang lahat ng mga bagay na narinig ko sa aking Ama ay mga ipinakilala ko sa inyo.
16 Ako'y hindi ninyo hinirang, nguni't kayo'y hinirang ko, at aking kayong inihalal, upang kayo'y magsiyaon at magsipagbunga, at upang manatili ang inyong bunga: upang ang anomang inyong hingin sa Ama sa aking pangalan, ay maibigay niya sa inyo.
17 Ang mga bagay na ito ay iniuutos ko sa inyo, upang kayo'y mangagibigan sa isa't isa.
18 Kung kayo'y kinapopootan ng sanglibutan, ay inyong talastas na ako muna ang kinapootan bago kayo.
19 Kung kayo'y taga sanglibutan, ay iibigin ng sanglibutan ang kaniyang sarili: nguni't sapagka't kayo'y hindi taga sanglibutan, kundi kayo'y hinirang ko sa sanglibutan, kaya napopoot sa inyo ang sanglibutan.
20 Alalahanin ninyo ang salitang sa inyo'y aking sinabi, Ang alipin ay hindi dakila kay sa kaniyang panginoon. Kung ako'y kanilang pinagusig, kayo man ay kanilang paguusigin din; kung tinupad nila ang aking salita, ang inyo man ay tutuparin din.
21 Datapuwa't ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito ay gagawin nila sa inyo dahil sa aking pangalan, sapagka't hindi nila nakikilala ang sa akin ay nagsugo.
22 Kung hindi sana ako naparito at nagsalita sa kanila, ay hindi sila magkakaroon ng kasalanan: datapuwa't ngayo'y wala na silang madadahilan sa kanilang kasalanan.
23 Ang napopoot sa akin ay napopoot din naman sa aking Ama.
24 Kung ako sana'y hindi gumawa sa gitna nila ng mga gawang hindi ginawa ng sinomang iba, ay hindi sana sila nangagkaroon ng kasalanan: datapuwa't ngayon ay kanilang nangakita at kinapootan nila ako at ang aking Ama.
25 Nguni't nangyari ito, upang matupad ang salitang nasusulat sa kanilang kautusan, Ako'y kinapootan nila na walang kadahilanan.
26 Datapuwa't pagparito ng Mangaaliw, na aking susuguin sa inyo mula sa Ama, sa makatuwid baga'y ang Espiritu ng katotohanan, na nagbubuhat sa Ama, ay siyang magpapatotoo sa akin:
27 At kayo naman ay magpapatotoo, sapagka't kayo'y nangakasama ko buhat pa nang una.
John 15
New King James Version
The True Vine
15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 (A)Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He [a]takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear (B)more fruit. 3 (C)You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 (D)Abide in Me, and I in you. 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. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much (E)fruit; for without Me you can do (F)nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, (G)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words (H)abide in you, (I)you[b] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 (J)By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; (K)so you will be My disciples.
Love and Joy Perfected
9 “As the Father (L)loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 (M)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and (N)that your joy may be full. 12 (O)This is My (P)commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 (Q)Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 (R)You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, (S)for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 (T)You did not choose Me, but I chose you and (U)appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father (V)in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
The World’s Hatred
18 (W)“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 (X)If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet (Y)because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, (Z)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. (AA)If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But (AB)all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 (AC)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, (AD)but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (AE)He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them (AF)the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have (AG)seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, (AH)‘They hated Me without a cause.’
The Coming Rejection
26 (AI)“But when the [c]Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, (AJ)He will testify of Me. 27 And (AK)you also will bear witness, because (AL)you have been with Me from the beginning.

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.

I Am the True Vine
15 “(A)I am the true vine, and My Father is the (B)vine-grower. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He [a]cleans it so that it may bear more fruit. 3 (C)You are already [b]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 (D)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit from itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he (E)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is (F)thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, (G)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 My (H)Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so [c](I)prove to be My disciples. 9 Just as (J)the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10 (K)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as (L)I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 11 (M)These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your (N)joy may be complete.
Jesus’ Commandment Is Love
12 “This is (O)My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 13 (P)Greater love has no one than this, that one (Q)lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are My (R)friends if (S)you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for (T)all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 (U)You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and (V)bear fruit, and that your fruit would abide, so that (W)whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you. 17 This (X)I command you, that you love one another.
If the World Hates You
18 “(Y)If the world hates you, [d]know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but (Z)I chose you out of the world, (AA)because of this the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘(AB)A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, (AC)they will also persecute you; if they (AD)kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you (AE)for My name’s sake, (AF)because they do not know the One who sent Me. 22 (AG)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [e]sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 (AH)If I had not done among them (AI)the works which no one else did, they would not have [f]sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25 But this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their (AJ)Law, ‘(AK)They hated Me without cause.’
26 “When the [g](AL)Advocate comes, (AM)whom I will send to you from the Father, (AN)the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, (AO)He will bear witness about Me, 27 [h]and (AP)you will bear witness also, because you have been with Me (AQ)from the beginning.
