John 15:9-27

9JustG2531 asG2531 1the FatherG3962 has lovedG25 Me, I alsoG2532 have lovedG25 you; remainG3306 in My loveG26. 102IfG1437 you keepG5083 My commandmentsG1785, you will remainG3306 in My loveG26; justG2531 asG2531 3I have keptG5083 My Father’sG3962 commandmentsG1785 and remainG3306 in His loveG26. 114TheseG3778 thingsG3778 I have spokenG2980 to you soG2443 thatG2443 My joyG5479 may be in you, and that your 5joyG5479 may be madeG4137 fullG4137.

12“ThisG3778 is 6My commandmentG1785, that you loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 asG2531 I have lovedG25 you. 137GreaterG3173 loveG26 hasG2192 noG3762 oneG3762 than thisG3778, that a personG5100 will 8layG5087 downG5087 his lifeG5590 for his friendsG5384. 14You are My 9friendsG5384 ifG1437 10you 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 11allG3956 thingsG3956 that I have heardG191 from My FatherG3962 I have madeG1107 knownG1107 to you. 1612You did not chooseG1586 Me but I choseG1586 you, and appointedG5087 you that you would goG5217 and 13bearG5342 fruitG2590, and that your fruitG2590 would remainG3306, soG2443 thatG2443 14whateverG3739G5100G302 you askG154 of the FatherG3962 in My nameG3686 He may giveG1325 to you. 17ThisG3778 15I commandG1781 you, that you loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240.

18“16IfG1487 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you, 17you knowG1097 that it has hatedG3404 Me beforeG4413 it hated you. 19IfG1487 you were of the worldG2889, the worldG2889 would loveG5368 you as its ownG2398; but becauseG3754 you are not of the worldG2889, but 18I choseG1586 you outG1586 of the worldG2889, 19becauseG1223 of thisG3778 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 20RememberG3421 the wordG3056 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘20A slaveG1401 is not greaterG3173 than his masterG2962.’ IfG1487 they persecutedG1377 Me, 21they will persecuteG1377 you asG2532 wellG2532; ifG1487 they 22followedG5083 My wordG3056, they will followG5083 yoursG5212 alsoG2532. 21But allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 they will doG4160 to you 23onG1223 accountG1223 ofG1223 My nameG3686, 24becauseG3754 they do not knowG3609 the OneG3588 who sentG3992 Me. 2225IfG1487 I had not comeG2064 and spokenG2980 to them, they would not haveG2192 26sinG266; but nowG3568 they haveG2192 noG3756 excuseG4392 for their sinG266. 23The one who hatesG3404 Me hatesG3404 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 2427IfG1487 I had not doneG4160 amongG1722 them 28the worksG2041 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 elseG243 didG4160, they would not haveG2192 29sinG266; but nowG3568 they have bothG2532 seenG3708 and hatedG3404 Me and My FatherG3962 asG2532 wellG2532. 25But this has happened soG2443 thatG2443 the wordG3056 that is writtenG1125 in their 30LawG3551 will be fulfilledG4137: ‘31They hatedG3404 Me forG1432 noG1432 reasonG1432.’

26“WhenG3752 the 3233HelperG3875 comesG2064, 34whomG3739 I will sendG3992 to you from the FatherG3962, namely, 35the SpiritG4151 of truthG225 whoG3739 comesG1607 from the FatherG3962, 36He will testifyG3140 aboutG4012 Me, 27and 3738you are testifyingG3140 asG2532 wellG2532, becauseG3754 you have beenG1510 with Me 39from the beginningG746.
