ASV_Strong : John 15
1. I[G1473] am[G1510] the true[G228] vine[G288], and[G2532] my[G3450] Father[G3962] is[G2076] the husbandman[G1092].
2. Every[G3956] branch[G2814] in[G1722] me[G1698] that beareth[G5342] not[G3361] fruit[G2590], he[G846] taketh it away[G142]: and[G2532] every[G3956] branch that beareth[G5342] fruit[G2590], he cleanseth[G2508] it[G846], that[G2443] it may bear[G5342] more[G4119] fruit[G2590].
3. Already[G2235] ye[G5210] are[G2075] clean[G2513] because[G1223] of the word[G3056] which[G3739] I have spoken[G2980] unto you[G5213].
4. Abide[G3306] in[G1722] me[G1698], and I[G2504] in[G1722] you[G5213]. As[G2531] the branch[G2814] cannot[G1410, 3756] bear[G5342] fruit[G2590] of[G575] itself[G1438], except[G1437, 3361] it abide[G3306] in[G1722] the vine[G3779]; so neither can[G3761] ye[G5210], except[G1437, 3361] ye abide[G3306] in[G1722] me[G1698].
5. I[G1473] am[G1510] the vine[G288], ye[G5210] are the branches[G2814]: He that abideth[G3306] in[G1722] me[G1698], and I[G2504] in[G1722] him[G846], the same[G3778] beareth[G5342] much[G4183] fruit[G2590]: for[G3754] apart[G5565] from me[G1700, 3756] ye can[G1410] do[G4160] nothing[G3762].
6. If[G1437] a man[G5100] abide[G3306] not[G3361] in[G1722] me[G1698], he is cast[G906] forth[G1854] as[G5613] a branch[G2814], and[G2532] is withered[G3583]; and[G2532] they gather[G4863] them[G846], and[G2532] cast[G906] them into[G1519] the fire[G4442], and[G2532] they are burned[G2545].
7. If[G1437] ye abide[G3306] in[G1722] me[G1698], and[G2532] my[G3450] words[G4487] abide[G3306] in[G1722] you[G5213], ask[G154] whatsoever[G3739, 1437] ye will[G2309], and[G2532] it shall be done[G1096] unto you[G5213].
8. Herein[G1722] is[G5129] my[G3450] Father[G3962] glorified[G1392], that[G2443] ye bear[G5342] much[G4183] fruit[G2590]; and so[G2532] shall ye be[G1096] my[G1698] disciples[G3101].
9. Even as[G2531] the Father[G3962] hath loved[G25] me[G3165], I[G2504] also have loved[G25] you[G5209]: abide ye[G3306] in[G1722] my[G1699] love[G26].
10. If[G1437] ye keep[G5083] my[G3450] commandments[G1785], ye shall abide[G3306] in[G1722] my[G3450] love[G26]; even as[G2531] I[G1473] have kept[G5083] my[G3450] Father[G3962]'s commandments[G1785], and[G2532] abide[G3306] in[G1722] his[G846] love[G26].
11. These things[G5023] have I spoken[G2980] unto you[G5213], that[G2443] my[G1699] joy[G5479] may be[G3306] in[G1722] you[G5213], and[G2532] that your[G5216] joy[G5479] may be made full[G4137].
12. This[G3778] is[G2076] my[G1699] commandment[G1785], that[G2443] ye love[G25] one another[G240], even as[G2531] I have loved[G25] you[G5209].
13. Greater[G3173] love[G26] hath[G2192] no man[G3762] than this[G3778], that[G2443] a man[G5100] lay down[G5087] his[G846] life[G5590] for[G5228] his[G846] friends[G5384].
14. Ye[G5210] are[G2075] my[G3450] friends[G5384], if[G1437] ye[G5210] do[G4160] the things which I[G1473] command[G1781] you[G5213].
15. No[G3765] longer do I call[G3004] you[G5209] servants[G1401]; for[G3754] the servant[G1401] knoweth[G1492] not[G3756] what[G5101] his[G846] lord[G2962] doeth[G4160]: but[G1161] I have called[G2046] you[G5209] friends[G5384]; for[G3754] all things[G3956] that[G3739] I heard[G191] from[G3844] my[G3450] Father[G3962], I have made known[G1107] unto you[G5213].
16. Ye did[G5210] not[G3756] choose[G1586] me[G3165], but[G235] I[G1473] chose[G1586] you[G5209], and[G2532] appointed[G5087] you[G5209], that[G2443] ye[G5210] should go[G5217] and[G2532] bear[G5342] fruit[G2590], and[G2532] that your[G5216] fruit[G2590] should abide[G3306]: that[G2443, Acts0] whatsoever[G302] ye shall ask[G154] of the Father[G3962] in[G1722] my[G3450] name[G3686], he may give it[G1325] you[G5213].
17. These things[G5023] I command[G1781] you[G5213], that[G2443] ye may love[G25] one another[G240].
18. If[G1487] the world[G2889] hateth[G3404] you[G5209], ye know[G1097] that[G3754] it hath hated[G3404] me[G1691] before[G4412] it hated you[G1097].
19. If[G1487] ye were[G2258] of[G1537] the world[G2889], the world[G2889] would love[G5368, Leviticus2] its own[G2398]: but[G1161] because[G3754] ye are[G2075] not[G3756] of[G1537] the world[G2889], but[G235] I[G1473] chose[G1586] you[G5209] out of[G1537] the world[G2889], therefore[G1223, 5124] the world[G2889] hateth[G3404] you[G5209].
20. Remember[G3421] the word[G3056] that[G3739] I[G1473] said[G2036] unto you[G5213], A servant[G1401] is[G2076] not[G3756] greater than[G3187] his[G846] lord[G2962]. If[G1487] they persecuted[G1377] me[G1691], they will[G1377] also[G2532] persecute[G1377] you[G5209]; if[G1487] they kept[G5083] my[G3450] word[G3056], they will keep[G5083] yours[G5212] also[G2532].
21. But[G235] all[G3956] these things[G5023] will they do[G4160] unto you[G5213] for[G1223] my[G3450] name[G3686]'s sake, because[G3754] they know[G1492] not[G3756] him[G3588] that sent[G3992] me[G3165].
22. If[G1487] I had[G2064] not[G3361] come[G2064] and[G2532] spoken[G2980] unto them[G846], they had[G2192] not[G3756] had[G2192] sin[G266]: but[G1161] now[G3568] they have[G2192] no[G3756] excuse[G4392] for[G4012] their[G846] sin[G266].
23. He[G3588] that hateth[G3404] me[G1691] hateth[G3404] my[G3450] Father[G3962] also[G2532].
24. If[G1487] I had[G4160] not[G3361] done[G4160] among[G1722] them[G846] the works[G2041] which[G3739] none[G3762] other[G243] did[G4160], they had[G2192] not[G3756] had[G2192] sin[G266]: but[G1161] now[G3568] have they[G3708] both[G2532] seen[G3708] and[G2532] hated[G3404] both[G2532] me[G1691] and[G2532] my[G3450] Father[G3962].
25. But[G235] this cometh to pass[G2443], that the word[G3056] may be fulfilled[G4137] that is written[G1125] in[G1722] their[G846] law[G3754], They hated[G3404] me[G3165] without a cause[G1432].
26. But[G1161] when[G3752] the Comforter[G3875] is come[G2064], whom[G3739] I[G1473] will send[G3992] unto you[G5213] from[G3844] the Father[G3962], even the Spirit[G4151] of truth[G225], which[G3739] proceedeth[G1607] from[G3844] the Father[G3962], he[G1565] shall bear witness[G3140] of[G4012] me[G1700]:
27. and[G2532] ye[G5210] also[G1161] bear witness[G3140], because[G3754] ye have been[G2075] with[G3326] me[G1700] from[G575] the beginning[G746].
