John.15.1
I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John.15.1
"I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer.
John.15.1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
John.15.1
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
John.15.1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
John.15.2
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.
John.15.2
He cuts off every branch of me that doesn't bear grapes. And every branch that is grape-bearing he prunes back so it will bear even more.
John.15.2
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
John.15.2
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
John.15.2
He cuts off every branch that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
John.15.3
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
John.15.3
You are already pruned back by the message I have spoken.
John.15.3
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
John.15.3
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
John.15.3
You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you.
John.15.4
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.
John.15.4
"Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can't bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can't bear fruit unless you are joined with me.
John.15.4
Remain in me, and I will 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.
John.15.4
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
John.15.4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me.
John.15.5
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.
John.15.5
"I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you're joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can't produce a thing.
John.15.5
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
John.15.5
"I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
John.15.5
"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
John.15.6
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.
John.15.6
Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire.
John.15.6
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
John.15.6
If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
John.15.6
Anyone who parts from me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
John.15.7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John.15.7
But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon.
John.15.7
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
John.15.7
If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
John.15.7
But if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!
John.15.8
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
John.15.8
This is how my Father shows who he is--when you produce grapes, when you mature as my disciples.
John.15.8
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
John.15.8
By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
John.15.8
My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father.
John.15.9
As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
John.15.9
"I've loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love.
John.15.9
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
John.15.9
"As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.
John.15.9
"I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
John.15.10
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.
John.15.10
If you keep my commands, you'll remain intimately at home in my love. That's what I've done--kept my Father's commands and made myself at home in his love.
John.15.10
If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love.
John.15.10
If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.
John.15.10
When you obey me, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father and remain in his love.
John.15.11
These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
John.15.11
"I've told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature.
John.15.11
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.
John.15.11
"These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.
John.15.11
I have told you this so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
John.15.12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
John.15.12
This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you.
John.15.12
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
John.15.12
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
John.15.12
I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you.
John.15.13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John.15.13
This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends.
John.15.13
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
John.15.13
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends.
John.15.13
And here is how to measure it--the greatest love is shown when people lay down their lives for their friends.
John.15.14
Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
John.15.14
You are my friends when you do the things I command you.
John.15.14
You are my friends if you do what I command.
John.15.14
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
John.15.14
You are my friends if you obey me.
John.15.15
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.
John.15.15
I'm no longer calling you servants because servants don't understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I've named you friends because I've let you in on everything I've heard from the Father.
John.15.15
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.
John.15.15
No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.
John.15.15
I no longer call you servants, because a master doesn't confide in his servants. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.
John.15.16
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.
John.15.16
"You didn't choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won't spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you.
John.15.16
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
John.15.16
You did not 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 ask the Father in My name He may give you.
John.15.16
You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
John.15.17
These things I command you, that ye love one another.
John.15.17
"But remember the root command: Love one another.
John.15.17
This is my command: Love each other.
John.15.17
These things I command you, that you love one another.
John.15.17
I command you to love each other.
John.15.18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John.15.18
"If you find the godless world is hating you, remember it got its start hating me.
John.15.18
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
John.15.18
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.
John.15.18
"When the world hates you, remember it hated me before it hated you.
John.15.19
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.
John.15.19
If you lived on the world's terms, the world would love you as one of its own. But since I picked you to live on God's terms and no longer on the world's terms, the world is going to hate you.
John.15.19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
John.15.19
If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
John.15.19
The world would love you if you belonged to it, but you don't. I chose you to come out of the world, and so it hates you.
John.15.20
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 yours also.
John.15.20
"When that happens, remember this: Servants don't get better treatment than their masters. If they beat on me, they will certainly beat on you. If they did what I told them, they will do what you tell them.
John.15.20
Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
John.15.20
Remember the word that I said to you, "A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
John.15.20
Do you remember what I told you? 'A servant is not greater than the master.' Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you!
John.15.21
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
John.15.21
"They are going to do all these things to you because of the way they treated me, because they don't know the One who sent me.
John.15.21
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me.
John.15.21
But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
John.15.21
The people of the world will hate you because you belong to me, for they don't know God who sent me.
John.15.22
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
John.15.22
If I hadn't come and told them all this in plain language, it wouldn't be so bad. As it is, they have no excuse.
John.15.22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
John.15.22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
John.15.22
They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
John.15.23
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
John.15.23
Hate me, hate my Father--it's all the same.
John.15.23
He who hates me hates my Father as well.
John.15.23
He who hates Me hates My Father also.
John.15.23
Anyone who hates me hates my Father, too.
John.15.24
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.
John.15.24
If I hadn't done what I have done among them, works no one has ever done, they wouldn't be to blame. But they saw the God-signs and hated anyway, both me and my Father.
John.15.24
If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
John.15.24
If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.
John.15.24
If I hadn't done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be counted guilty. But as it is, they saw all that I did and yet hated both of us--me and my Father.
John.15.25
But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
John.15.25
Interesting--they have verified the truth of their own Scriptures where it is written, "They hated me for no good reason.'
John.15.25
But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'
John.15.25
But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, "They hated Me without a cause.'
John.15.25
This has fulfilled what the Scriptures said: 'They hated me without cause.'
John.15.26
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:
John.15.26
"When the Friend I plan to send you from the Father comes--the Spirit of Truth issuing from the Father--he will confirm everything about me.
John.15.26
"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.
John.15.26
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.
John.15.26
"But I will send you the Counselor--the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will tell you all about me.
John.15.27
And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
John.15.27
You, too, from your side must give your confirming evidence, since you are in this with me from the start.
John.15.27
And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
John.15.27
And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
John.15.27
And you must also tell others about me because you have been with me from the beginning.
