John 15:2-16

2EveryG3956 branchG2814 in Me that does not bearG5342 fruitG2590, He takesG142 awayG142; and everyG3956 branch that bearsG5342 fruitG2590, He 1prunesG2508 it soG2443 thatG2443 it may bearG5342 moreG4183 fruitG2590. 3 2You are alreadyG2235 3cleanG2513 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 to you. 4 4RemainG3306 in Me, 5and I in you. JustG2531 asG2531 the branchG2814 cannotG1410 G3756 bearG5342 fruitG2590 6of itselfG1438 7but must remainG3306 in the vineG288, soG3779 neitherG3761 can you unlessG1437 G3361 you remainG3306 in Me. 5I amG1510 the vineG288, you are the branchesG2814; the one who remainsG3306 in Me, and I in him 8 9bearsG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590, for apartG5565 from Me you canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756 G3762. 6IfG1437 anyoneG5100 does not remainG3306 in Me, he is 10thrownG906 awayG1854 likeG5613 a branchG2814 and driesG3583 up; and they gatherG4863 them and throwG906 them into the fireG4442, and they are burnedG2545. 7IfG1437 you remainG3306 in Me, and My wordsG4487 remainG3306 in you, 11askG154 whateverG3739 G1437 you wishG2309, and it will be doneG1096 for you. 8My 12FatherG3962 is glorifiedG1392 by thisG3778, that you bearG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590, and so 13 14proveG1096 to be My disciplesG3101. 9JustG2531 asG2531 15the FatherG3962 has lovedG25 Me, I alsoG2532 have lovedG25 you; remainG3306 in My loveG26. 10 16IfG1437 you keepG5083 My commandmentsG1785, you will remainG3306 in My loveG26; justG2531 asG2531 17I have keptG5083 My Father’sG3962 commandmentsG1785 and remainG3306 in His loveG26. 11 18TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you soG2443 thatG2443 My joyG5479 may be in you, and that your 19joyG5479 may be madeG4137 fullG4137.

12“ThisG3778 is 20My commandmentG1785, that you loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 asG2531 I have lovedG25 you. 13 21GreaterG3173 loveG26 hasG2192 noG3762 oneG3762 than thisG3778, that a personG5100 will 22layG5087 downG5087 his lifeG5590 for his friendsG5384. 14You are My 23friendsG5384 ifG1437 24you doG4160 whatG3739 I commandG1781 you. 15NoG3765 longerG3765 do I callG3004 you slavesG1401, for the slaveG1401 does not knowG3609 whatG5101 his masterG2962 is doingG4160; but I have calledG3004 you friendsG5384, becauseG3754 25allG3956 thingsG3956 that I have heardG191 from My FatherG3962 I have madeG1107 knownG1107 to you. 16 26You did not chooseG1586 Me but I choseG1586 you, and appointedG5087 you that you would goG5217 and 27bearG5342 fruitG2590, and that your fruitG2590 would remainG3306, soG2443 thatG2443 28whateverG3739 G5100 G302 you askG154 of the FatherG3962 in My nameG3686 He may giveG1325 to you.
