John 15

1IG1473 amG1510 the trueG228 vineG3588G288, andG2532 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 isG1510 the husbandmanG3588G1092.

2EveryG3956 branchG2814 inG1722 meG1473 that bearethG5342 notG3361 fruitG2590 heG846 taketh awayG142: andG2532 everyG3956 branch that bearethG5342 fruitG2590, he purgethG2508 itG846, thatG2443 it may bring forthG5342 moreG4119 fruitG2590.

3NowG2235 yeG4771 areG1510 cleanG2513 throughG1223 the wordG3588G3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 unto youG4771.

4AbideG3306 inG1722 meG1473, and IG2504 inG1722 youG4771. AsG2531 the branchG3588G2814 cannotG3756G1410 bearG5342 fruitG2590 ofG575 itselfG1438, exceptG1437G3361 it abideG3306 inG1722 the vineG3588G288; no more canG3779G3761 yeG4771, exceptG1437G3361 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1473.

5IG1473 amG1510 the vineG3588G288, yeG4771 are the branchesG3588G2814: He that abidethG3306 inG1722 meG1473, and IG2504 inG1722 himG846, the sameG3778 bringeth forthG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590: forG3754 withoutG5565 meG1473 ye canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3762.

6IfG1437 a manG5100 abideG3306 notG3361 inG1722 meG1473, he is castG906 forthG1854 asG5613 a branchG3588G2814, andG2532 is witheredG3583; andG2532 men gatherG4863 themG846, andG2532 castG906 them intoG1519 the fireG4442, andG2532 they are burnedG2545.

7IfG1437 ye abideG3306 inG1722 meG1473, andG2532 myG1473 wordsG3588G4487 abideG3306 inG1722 youG4771, ye shall askG154 whatG3739 ye willG2309, andG2532 it shall be doneG1096 unto youG4771.

8HereinG1722 isG3778 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 glorifiedG1392, thatG2443 ye bearG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590; soG2532 shall ye beG1096 myG1699 disciplesG3101.

9AsG2531 the FatherG3588G3962 hath lovedG25 meG1473, so have IG2504 lovedG25 youG4771: continue yeG3306 inG1722 myG1699 loveG3588G26.

10IfG1437 ye keepG5083 myG1473 commandmentsG3588G1785, ye shall abideG3306 inG1722 myG1473 loveG3588G26; even asG2531 IG1473 have keptG5083 myG1473 Father’sG3588G3962 commandmentsG3588G1785, andG2532 abideG3306 inG1722 hisG846 loveG3588G26.

11These thingsG3778 have I spokenG2980 unto youG4771, thatG2443 myG1699 joyG3588G5479 might remainG3306 inG1722 youG4771, andG2532 that yourG4771 joyG3588G5479 might be fullG4137.

12ThisG3778 isG1510 myG1699 commandmentG3588G1785, ThatG2443 ye loveG25 one anotherG240, asG2531 I have lovedG25 youG4771.

13GreaterG3173 loveG26 hathG2192 no manG3762 than thisG3778, thatG2443 a manG5100 lay downG5087 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 forG5228 hisG846 friendsG5384.

14YeG4771 areG1510 myG1473 friendsG5384, ifG1437 ye doG4160 whatsoeverG3745 IG1473 commandG1781 youG4771.

15Henceforth I callG3004 youG4771 notG3765 servantsG1401; forG3754 the servantG3588G1401 knowethG1492 notG3756 whatG5101 hisG846 lordG3588G2962 doethG4160: butG1161 I have calledG2046 youG4771 friendsG5384; forG3754 all thingsG3956 thatG3739 I have heardG191 ofG3844 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 I have made knownG1107 unto youG4771.

16Ye haveG4771 notG3756 chosenG1586 meG1473, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG4771, andG2532 ordainedG5087 youG4771, thatG2443 yeG4771 should goG5217 andG2532 bring forthG5342 fruitG2590, andG2532 that yourG4771 fruitG3588G2590 should remainG3306: thatG2443 whatsoeverG302 ye shall askG154 of the FatherG3588G3962 inG1722 myG1473 nameG3588G3686, he may give itG1325 youG4771.

17These thingsG3778 I commandG1781 youG4771, thatG2443 ye loveG25 one anotherG240.

18IfG1487 the worldG3588G2889 hateG3404 youG4771, ye knowG1097 thatG3754 it hatedG3404 meG1473 beforeG4412 it hated youG4771.

19IfG1487 ye wereG1510 ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889, the worldG3588G2889 would loveG5368 his ownG2398: butG1161 becauseG3754 ye areG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG4771 out ofG1537 the worldG3588G2889, thereforeG1223 the worldG3588G2889 hatethG3404 youG4771.

20RememberG3421 the wordG3588G3056 thatG3739 IG1473 saidG3004 unto youG4771, The servantG1401 isG1510 notG3756 greater thanG3173 hisG846 lordG3588G2962. IfG1487 they have persecutedG1377 meG1473, they willG1377 alsoG2532 persecuteG1377 youG4771; ifG1487 they have keptG5083 myG1473 sayingG3588G3056, they will keepG5083 yoursG5212 alsoG2532.

21ButG235 allG3956 these thingsG3778 will they doG4160 unto youG4771 forG1223 myG1473 name’s sakeG3588G3686, becauseG3754 they knowG1492 notG3756 himG3588 that sentG3992 meG1473.

22IfG1487 I hadG2064 notG3361 comeG2064 andG2532 spokenG2980 unto themG846, they hadG2192 notG3756 hadG2192 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 they haveG2192 noG3756 clokeG4392 forG4012 theirG846 sinG3588G266.

23HeG3588 that hatethG3404 meG1473 hatethG3404 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962 alsoG2532.

24IfG1487 I hadG4160 notG3361 doneG4160 amongG1722 themG846 the worksG3588G2041 whichG3739 noneG3762 other manG243 didG4160, they hadG2192 notG3756 hadG2192 sinG266: butG1161 nowG3568 have theyG3708 bothG2532 seenG3708 andG2532 hatedG3404 bothG2532 meG1473 andG2532 myG1473 FatherG3588G3962.

25ButG235 this cometh to pass, thatG2443 the wordG3588G3056 might be fulfilledG4137 that is writtenG1125 inG1722 theirG846 lawG3588G3551, They hatedG3404 meG1473 without a causeG1432.

26ButG1161 whenG3752 the ComforterG3588G3875 is comeG2064, whomG3739 IG1473 will sendG3992 unto youG4771 fromG3844 the FatherG3588G3962, even the SpiritG3588G4151 of truthG3588G225, whichG3739 proceedethG1607 fromG3844 the FatherG3588G3962, heG1565 shall testifyG3140 ofG4012 meG1473:

27AndG2532 yeG4771 alsoG1161 shall bear witnessG3140, becauseG3754 ye have beenG1510 withG3326 meG1473 fromG575 the beginningG746.
