John 15:1-17

KJV

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 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth 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 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto 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, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except 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 abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth 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 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men 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 be done unto 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 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
9 “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even 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.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
15 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
17 This is my command: Love each other.
