1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard.
2Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes, and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.2He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.
3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.4Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.
5I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit, because you can do nothing without me.5I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.
6If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8My Father is glorified by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be my disciples.8This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
9"As the Father has loved me, I have also loved you. Remain in my love.9As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.
10If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands and remain in his love.10If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.
11"I have told you these things so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.11I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete.
12"This is my command: Love one another as I have loved you.12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
14You are my friends if you do what I command you.14You are My friends if you do what I command you.
15I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father.15No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you.
16You did not choose me, but I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he will give you.16You did not choose Me, but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will remain—so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.
17"This is what I command you: Love one another.17This is My command to you: Love one another.
18"If the world hates you, understand that it hated me before it hated you.18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20Remember the word I spoke 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 also keep yours.20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
21But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they don't know the one who sent me.21But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23The one who hates me also hates my Father.23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25But this happened so that the statement written in their law might be fulfilled: They hated me for no reason.25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
26"When the Counselor comes, the one I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father--he will testify about me.26When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father—He will testify about Me.
27You also will testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
