1  The consolation and mutual love between Christ and his members, under the parable of the vine.  18  A comfort in the hatred and persecution of the world.  26  The office of the Holy Ghost, and of the Apostles.

15:1 ¶ I {1473} am {1510} <5748> the (3588) true {228} vine, {288} and {2532} my {3450} Father {3962} is {2076} <5748> the (3588) husbandman. {1092}

15:2 Every {3956} branch {2814} in {1722} me {1698} that [846] beareth {5342} <5723> not {3361} fruit {2590} he taketh away: {142} <5719> (846) and {2532} every {3956} [branch] that beareth {5342} <5723> fruit, {2590} he purgeth {2508} <5719> it, {846} that {2443} it may bring forth {5342} <5725> more {4119} fruit. {2590}

15:3 Now {2235} ye {5210} are {2075} <5748> clean {2513} through {1223} the (3588) word {3056} which {3739} I have spoken {2980} <5758> unto you. {5213}

15:4 Abide {3306} <5657> in {1722} me, {1698} and I {2504} in {1722} you. {5213} As {2531} the (3588) branch {2814} cannot {3756} {1410} <5736> bear {5342} <5721> fruit {2590} of {575} itself, {1438} except {3362} it abide {3306} <5661> in {1722} the (3588) vine; {288} no (3761) more {3779} [3761] can ye, {5210} except {3362} ye abide {3306} <5661> in {1722} me. {1698}

15:5 I {1473} am {1510} <5748> the (3588) vine, {288} ye {5210} [are] the (3588) branches: {2814} He that abideth {3306} <5723> in {1722} me, {1698} and I {2504} in {1722} him, {846} the same {3778} bringeth forth {5342} <5719> much {4183} fruit: {2590} for {3754} without {5565} me {1700} ye can {1410} <5736> (3756) do {4160} <5721> nothing. {3762} [3756]

15:6 If [3362] <0> a man [5100] abide [3306] <5661> not {3362} (5100) (3306) in {1722} me, {1698} he is cast {906} <5681> forth {1854} as {5613} a branch, {2814} and {2532} is withered; {3583} <5681> and {2532} men gather {4863} <5719> them, {846} and {2532} cast {906} <5719> [them] into {1519} the fire, {4442} and {2532} they are burned. {2545} <5743>

15:7 If {1437} ye abide {3306} <5661> in {1722} me, {1698} and {2532} my {3450} words {4487} abide {3306} <5661> in {1722} you, {5213} ye shall ask {154} <5698> what {3739} {1437} ye will, {2309} <5725> and {2532} it shall be done {1096} <5695> unto you. {5213}

15:8 Herein {1722} {5129} is [1392] <0> my {3450} Father {3962} glorified, {1392} <5681> that {2443} ye bear {5342} <5725> much {4183} fruit; {2590} so {2532} shall ye be {1096} <5695> my [1699] (1698) disciples. {3101}

15:9 As {2531} the (3588) Father [3962] hath (3962) loved {25} <5656> me, {3165} so [2504] <0> have [25] <0> I [2504] loved {25} <5656> (2504) you: {5209} continue (3306) ye [3306] <5657> in {1722} my {1699} love. {26}

15:10 If {1437} ye keep {5083} <5661> my {3450} commandments, {1785} ye shall abide {3306} <5692> in {1722} my {3450} love; {26} even as {2531} I {1473} have kept {5083} <5758> my {3450} Father's {3962} commandments, {1785} and {2532} abide {3306} <5719> in {1722} his {846} love. {26}

15:11 These things {5023} have I spoken {2980} <5758> unto you, {5213} that {2443} my {1699} joy {5479} might remain {3306} <5661> in {1722} you, {5213} and {2532} [that] your {5216} joy {5479} might be full. {4137} <5686>

15:12 This {3778} is {2076} <5748> my {1699} commandment, {1785} That {2443} ye love {25} <5725> one another, {240} as {2531} I have loved {25} <5656> you. {5209}

15:13 Greater {3187} <0> love {26} hath {2192} <5719> no man {3762} than [3187] this, {5026} that {2443} a man {5100} lay down {5087} <5632> his [846] (848) life {5590} for {5228} his [846] (848) friends. {5384}

15:14 Ye {5210} are {2075} <5748> my {3450} friends, {5384} if {1437} ye do {4160} <5725> whatsoever {3745} I {1473} command {1781} <5736> you. {5213}

15:15 Henceforth [3765] <0> I call [3004] <5719> you [5209] not {3765} (3004) (5209) servants; {1401} for {3754} the (3588) servant {1401} knoweth {1492} <5758> not {3756} what {5101} his {846} lord {2962} doeth: {4160} <5719> but {1161} I have called {2046} <5758> you {5209} friends; {5384} for {3754} all things {3956} that {3739} I have heard {191} <5656> of {3844} my {3450} Father {3962} I have made known {1107} <5656> unto you. {5213}

15:16 Ye {5210} have [1586] <0> not {3756} chosen {1586} <5668> me, {3165} but {235} I {1473} have chosen {1586} <5668> you, {5209} and {2532} ordained {5087} <5656> you, {5209} that {2443} ye {5210} should go {5217} <5725> and {2532} bring forth {5342} <5725> fruit, {2590} and {2532} [that] your {5216} fruit {2590} should remain: {3306} <5725> that {2443} whatsoever {302} {3748} [3739] ye shall ask {154} <5661> of the (3588) Father {3962} in {1722} my {3450} name, {3686} he may give (1325) it [1325] <5632> you. {5213}

15:17 These things {5023} I command {1781} <5736> you, {5213} that {2443} ye love {25} <5725> one another. {240}

15:18 If {1487} the (3588) world {2889} hate {3404} <5719> you, {5209} ye know {1097} <5719> <5720> that {3754} it hated {3404} <5758> me {1691} before {4412} [it hated] you. {5216}

15:19 If {1487} ye were {2258} <5713> of {1537} the (3588) world, {2889} the (3588) world {2889} would [302] love {5368} <5707> (302) his own: {2398} but {1161} because {3754} ye are {2075} <5748> not {3756} of {1537} the (3588) world, {2889} but {235} I {1473} have chosen {1586} <5668> you {5209} out of {1537} the (3588) world, {2889} therefore {5124} {1223} the (3588) world {2889} hateth {3404} <5719> you. {5209}

15:20 Remember {3421} <5720> the (3588) word {3056} that {3739} I {1473} said {2036} <5627> unto you, {5213} The servant {1401} is {2076} <5748> not {3756} greater (3187) than [3187] his [846] (848) lord. {2962} If {1487} they have persecuted {1377} <5656> me, {1691} they will [1377] <0> also {2532} persecute {1377} <5692> you; {5209} if {1487} they have kept {5083} <5656> my {3450} saying, {3056} they will keep {5083} <5692> yours {5212} also. {2532}

15:21 But {235} all {3956} these things {5023} will they do {4160} <5692> unto you {5213} for [1223] my [3450] <0> name's [3686] sake, {3450} (1223) (3686) because {3754} they know {1492} <5758> not {3756} him that sent {3992} <5660> me. {3165}

15:22 If [1508] <0> (1487) I had [2064] <0> not [1508] (3361) come {2064} <5627> and {2532} spoken {2980} <5656> unto them, {846} they had [2192] <0> not {3756} had {2192} <5707> sin: {266} but {1161} now {3568} they have {2192} <5719> no {3756} cloke {4392} for {4012} their [846] (848) sin. {266}

15:23 He that hateth {3404} <5723> me {1691} hateth {3404} <5719> my {3450} Father {3962} also. {2532}

15:24 If [1508] <0> (1487) I had [4160] <0> not [1508] (3361) done {4160} <5656> among {1722} them {846} the (3588) works {2041} which {3739} none {3762} other man {243} did, {4160} <5758> they had [2192] <0> not {3756} had {2192} <5707> sin: {266} but {1161} now {3568} have they [3708] <0> both {2532} seen {3708} <5758> and {2532} hated {3404} <5758> both {2532} me {1691} and {2532} my {3450} Father. {3962}

15:25 But {235} [this cometh to pass], that {2443} the (3588) word {3056} might be fulfilled {4137} <5686> that is written {1125} <5772> in {1722} their {846} law, {3551} [3754] They hated {3404} <5656> me {3165} without a cause. {1432}

15:26 But {1161} when {3752} the (3588) Comforter {3875} is come, {2064} <5632> whom {3739} I {1473} will send {3992} <5692> unto you {5213} from {3844} the (3588) Father, {3962} [even] the (3588) Spirit {4151} of truth, {225} which {3739} proceedeth {1607} <5736> from {3844} the (3588) Father, {3962} he {1565} shall testify {3140} <5692> of {4012} me: {1700}

15:27 And {1161} ye {5210} also {2532} shall bear witness, {3140} <5719> because {3754} ye have been {2075} <5748> with {3326} me {1700} from {575} the beginning. {746}
