John 15 (WEBP)

[1] “I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
[2] Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
[3] You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
[4] Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
[5] I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
[6] If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
[7] If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.
[8] “In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
[9] Even as the Father has loved me, I also have loved you. Remain in my love.
[10] If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, even as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
[11] I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full.
[12] “This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.
[13] Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
[14] You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
[15] No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.
[16] You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
[17] “I command these things to you, that you may love one another.
[18] If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
[19] If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
[20] Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
[21] But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.
[22] If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
[23] He who hates me, hates my Father also.
[24] If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.
[25] But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’
[26] “When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.
[27] You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.

John 15 (KJVS)

[1] I am () the true vine, and my Father is () the husbandman.
[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.
[3] Now ye are () clean through the word which I have spoken () unto 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.
[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.
[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. ()
[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.
[8] Herein is my Father glorified, () that ye bear () much fruit; so shall ye be () my disciples.
[9] As the Father hath loved () me, so have I loved () you: continue ye () 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.
[11] These things have I spoken () unto you, that my joy might remain () in you, and that your joy might be full. ()
[12] This is () my commandment, That ye love () one another, as I have loved () you.
[13] Greater love hath () no man than this, that a man lay down () his life for his friends.
[14] Ye are () my friends, if ye do () whatsoever I command () you.
[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.
[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.
[17] These things I command () you, that ye love () one another.
[18] If the world hate () you, ye know () () that it hated () me before it hated you.
[19] If ye were () of the world, the world would love () his own: but because ye are () not of the world, but I have chosen () you out of the world, therefore the world hateth () you.
[20] Remember () the word that I said () unto you, The servant is () not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted () me, they will also persecute () you; if they have kept () my saying, they will keep () your’s also.
[21] But all these things will they do () unto you for my name’s sake, because they know () not him that sent () me.
[22] If I had not come () and spoken () unto them, they had not had () sin: but now they have () no cloke for their sin.
[23] He that hateth () me hateth () my Father also.
[24] If I had not done () among them the works which none other man did, () they had not had () sin: but now have they both seen () and hated () both me and my Father.
[25] But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled () that is written () in their law, They hated () me without a cause.
[26] But when the Comforter is come, () whom I will send () unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth () from the Father, he shall testify () of me:
[27] and ye also shall bear witness, () because ye have been () with me from the beginning.
