The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
1
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 [As to] every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and [as to] every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
2
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunesso that it will be even more fruitful.
3 Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
3
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither [can] ye unless ye abide in me.
4
Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, *he* bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Unless any one abide in me he is cast out as the branch, and is dried up; and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
6
If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall come to pass to you.
7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 In this is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and ye shall become disciples of mine.
8
This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, I also have loved you: abide in my love.
9
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love, as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
10
If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
