John 15

1 The consolation and mutual love between Christ and his members, under the parable of the vine. 18 A comfort in the hatred and persecution of the world. 26 The office of the Holy Ghost, and of the Apostles.

 15:1 “I am 1510 the true 228 vine 288, and My Father 3962 is the vinedresser 1092.

 15:2 “Every 3956 branch 2814 in Me that does not bear 5342 fruit 2590, He takes 142 away 142; and every 3956 [branch] that bears 5342 fruit 2590, He prunes 2508 it so 2443 that it may bear 5342 more 4183 fruit 2590.

 15:3 “You are already 2235 clean 2513 because 1223 of the word 3056 which 3739 I have spoken 2980 to you.

 15:4 “Abide 3306 in Me, and I in you. As the branch 2814 cannot 1410 3756 bear 5342 fruit 2590 of itself 1438 unless 1437 3361 it abides 3306 in the vine 288, so 3779 neither 3761 [can] you unless 1437 3361 you abide 3306 in Me.

 15:5 “I am 1510 the vine 288, you are the branches 2814; he who abides 3306 in Me and I in him, he bears 5342 much 4183 fruit 2590, for apart 5565 from Me you can 1410 do 4160 nothing 3756 3762.

 15:6 “If 1437 anyone 5100 does not abide 3306 in Me, he is thrown 906 away 1854 as a branch 2814 and dries 3583 up; and they gather 4863 them, and cast 906 them into the fire 4442 and they are burned 2545.

 15:7 “If 1437 you abide 3306 in Me, and My words 4487 abide 3306 in you, ask 154 whatever 3739 1437 you wish 2309, and it will be done 1096 for you.

 15:8 “My Father 3962 is glorified 1392 by this 3778, that you bear 5342 much 4183 fruit 2590, and [so] prove 1096 to be My disciples 3101.

 15:9 “Just 2531a as the Father 3962 has loved 25 Me, I have also 2532 loved 25 you; abide 3306 in My love 26.

 15:10 “If 1437 you keep 5083 My commandments 1785, you will abide 3306 in My love 26; just 2531a as I have kept 5083 My Father’s 3962 commandments 1785 and abide 3306 in His love 26.

 15:11 “These 3778 things 3778 I have spoken 2980 to you so 2443 that My joy 5479 may be in you, and [that] your joy 5479 may be made 4137 full 4137.

 15:12 ¶ “This 3778 is My commandment 1785, that you love 25 one 240 another 240, just 2531a as I have loved 25 you.

 15:13 “Greater 3173 love 26 has 2192 no 3762 one 3762 than this 3778, that one 5100 lay 5087 down 5087 his life 5590 for his friends 5384.

 15:14 “You are My friends 5384 if 1437 you do 4160 what 3739 I command 1781 you.

 15:15 “No 3765 longer 3765 do I call 3004 you slaves 1401, for the slave 1401 does not know 3609a what 5101 his master 2962 is doing 4160; but I have called 3004 you friends 5384, for all 3956 things 3956 that I have heard 191 from My Father 3962 I have made 1107 known 1107 to you.

 15:16 “You did not choose 1586 Me but I chose 1586 you, and appointed 5087 you that you would go 5217 and bear 5342 fruit 2590, and [that] your fruit 2590 would remain 3306, so 2443 that whatever 3739 5100 302 you ask 154 of the Father 3962 in My name 3686 He may give 1325 to you.

 15:17 “This 3778 I command 1781 you, that you love 25 one 240 another 240.

 15:18 ¶ “If 1487 the world 2889 hates 3404 you, you know 1097 that it has hated 3404 Me before 4413 [it hated] you.

 15:19 “If 1487 you were of the world 2889, the world 2889 would love 5368 its own 2398; but because 3754 you are not of the world 2889, but I chose 1586 you out of the world 2889, because 3754 of this 1223 3778 the world 2889 hates 3404 you.

 15:20 “Remember 3421 the word 3056 that I said 3004 to you, ‘A slave 1401 is not greater 3173 than his master 2962.’ If 1487 they persecuted 1377 Me, they will also 2532 persecute 1377 you; if 1487 they kept 5083 My word 3056, they will keep 5083 yours 5212 also 2532.

 15:21 “But all 3956 these 3778 things 3778 they will do 4160 to you for My name’s 3686 sake 1223, because 3754 they do not know 3609a the One who sent 3992 Me.

 15:22 “If 1487 I had not come 2064 and spoken 2980 to them, they would not have 2192 sin 266, but now 3568 they have 2192 no 3756 excuse 4392 for their sin 266.

 15:23 “He who hates 3404 Me hates 3404 My Father 3962 also 2532.

 15:24 “If 1487 I had not done 4160 among 1722 them the works 2041 which 3739 no 3762 one 3762 else 243 did 4160, they would not have 2192 sin 266; but now 3568 they have both 2532 seen 3708 and hated 3404 Me and My Father 3962 as well 2532.

 15:25 “But [they have done this] to fulfill 4137 the word 3056 that is written 1125 in their Law 3551, ‘THEY HATED 3404 ME WITHOUT 1431 A CAUSE 1431.’

 15:26 ¶ “When 3752 the Helper 3875 comes 2064, whom 3739 I will send 3992 to you from the Father 3962, [that is] the Spirit 4151 of truth 225 who 3739 proceeds 1607 from the Father 3962, He will testify 3140 about 4012 Me,

 15:27 and you [will] testify 3140 also 2532, because 3754 you have been 1510 with Me from the beginning 746.
