1I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.
1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
2Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
2He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.
3Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.
3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.
4Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.
5I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
6If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and case him into the fire, and be burneth.
6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you.
7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8In this is my Father glorified; that you bring forth very much fruit, and become my disciples.
8This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
9As the Father hath loved me, I also have loved you.
9As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.
10If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father’s commandments, and do abide in his love.
10If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
11These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
11I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
14You are My friends if you do what I command you.
15I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you.
15No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
16You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
16You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
17These things I command you, that you love one another.
17This is My command to you: Love one another.
18If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20Remember my word that I said to you: The servant 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 yours also.
20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
21But all these things they will do to you for my name’s sake: because they know not him who sent me.
21But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
26But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.
26When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.
27And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
