John 15:1-17

WYC

NIV

1 I am a very vine, and my Father is an earth-tiller.
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2 Each branch in me that beareth not fruit, he shall take away it [he shall do it away]; and each that beareth fruit, he shall purge it, that it bear the more fruit [that it bear 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 be clean, for the word that I have spoken to you.
3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Dwell ye in me, and I in you; as a branch may not make fruit of itself, but it dwell in the vine, so neither ye, but ye dwell 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 be the branches. Who that dwelleth in me, and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me, ye be able to nothing do. [+I am the vine, ye be the branches. He that dwelleth in me, and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me, ye may nothing do.]
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 any man dwelleth not in me, he shall be cast out as a branch, and shall wax dry; and they shall gather him, and they shall cast him into the fire, and he shall burn [and he burneth].
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 dwell in me, and my words dwell in you, whatever thing ye will [whatever thing ye shall desire], ye shall ask, and it shall be done 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 thing my Father is clarified, that ye bring forth full much fruit, and that ye be made my disciples.
8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
9 As my Father loved me, I have loved you; dwell 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 dwell in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and dwell 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 I spake to you, that my joy be in you, and your joy be full-filled [and your joy be filled].
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 together, as I have loved you.
12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
13 No man hath more love than this, that a man put 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 be my friends if ye do those things, that I command to you.
14 You are my friends if you do what I command.
15 Now I shall not call you servants, for the servant knoweth not, what his lord shall do; but I have called you friends, for all things whatever I heard of my Father, I have made known to 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 chose you; and I have put you [and put you], that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and your fruit dwell; that whatever thing ye [shall] ask the Father in my name, he give to 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 to you, that ye love together.
17 This is my command: Love each other.
