1I am a very vine, and my Father is an earth-tiller. (I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.) 2Each branch in me that beareth not fruit, he shall take away it (he shall take it away); and each that beareth fruit, he shall purge it, (so) that it bear the more fruit. [Each scion, or branch, not bearing fruit in me, he shall do it away; and each that beareth fruit, he shall purge it, (so) that it bear more fruit.] 3Now ye be (made) clean, for the word that I have spoken to you. (Now ye be cleansed, or ye be purified, by the words which I have spoken to you.) 4Dwell ye in me, and I in you; as a branch may not make fruit of itself, [no] but it dwell in the vine, so neither ye, [no] but ye dwell in me. (Remain in me, and I in you; for a branch cannot make fruit by itself, unless it remain on the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye remain in me.) 5I am the vine, ye be the branches. Who that dwelleth in me [He that dwelleth in me], and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me ye may nothing do (for ye can do nothing without me). 6If any man dwelleth not in me, he shall be cast out as a branch, and shall wax dry; and they shall gather him (up), and they shall cast him into the fire, and he shall burn. (If anyone remaineth not in me, he shall be thrown out like a branch, and shall grow dry; and they shall gather him up, and they shall throw him into the fire, and he shall be burned up.) 7If ye dwell in me, and my words dwell in you, whatever thing ye will, ye shall ask (for it), and it shall be done to you. (If ye remain in me, and my words remain in you, whatever that ye want, ye shall ask for it, and it shall be done for you.) 8In this thing my Father is clarified (My Father is glorified in this), that ye bring forth full much fruit, and that ye be made my disciples. 9As my Father loved me, I have loved you; dwell ye in my love (remain in my love). 10If ye keep my commandments, ye shall dwell in my love; as I have kept the commandments of my Father, and dwell in his love. (If ye keep my commandments, ye shall remain in my love; as I have obeyed my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.) 11These things I spake to you, (so) that my joy be in you, and your joy be full-filled (and that your joy be filled full).

12This is my commandment, that ye love together (that ye love one another), as I have loved you. 13No man hath more love than this, that a man put (forth) his life for his friends. 14Ye be my friends if ye do those things, that I command to you. 15Now I shall not call you servants, for the servant knoweth not, what his lord shall do; but I have called you friends, for all (the) things whatever I heard of my Father, I have made known to you. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I chose you; and I have put you, that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and your fruit dwell; that whatever thing ye ask the Father in my name, he give to you. (Ye have not chosen me, but I chose you; and I have ordained you, so that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit remain; so that whatever ye ask the Father for in my name, he shall give it to you.) 17These things I command to you, that ye love together (that ye love one another).

18If the world hate you, know ye, that it had me in hate rather than you. 19If ye had been of the world, the world should love that thing that was his (the world would love that which was its own); but for ye be not of the world, but I chose you from the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20Have ye mind of my word(s), which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have pursued me, they shall pursue you also; if they have kept my word, they shall keep yours also. (Remember my words, which I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they shall also persecute you; if they have obeyed my words, they shall also obey yours.) 21But they shall do to you all these things for my name, for they know not him that sent me. 22If I had not come, and had not spoken to them, they should not have sin; but now they have none excusation, (or not excusing), of their sin. (If I had not come, and had not spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.) 23He that hateth me, hateth also my Father. 24If I had not done the works in them, which none other man did, they should not have sin (If I had not done the works among them, which no other man hath ever done, they would not be guilty of sin); but now both they have seen, and have hated me and my Father. 25But that the word be fulfilled, that is written in their law, For they had me in hate without cause. (So that the word be fulfilled, that is written in their Law, For they hated me for no good reason.)

26But when the Comforter shall come, which I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which cometh forth, (or proceedeth), of the Father, he shall bear witnessing of me; (But when the Comforter shall come, whom I shall send to you from the Father, yea the Spirit of Truth, who cometh forth from the Father, he shall testify about me;) 27and ye shall bear witnessing (and ye shall testify), for ye be with me from the beginning.
