ABP - John - 15

15:1  I am the [2grapevine 1true], and my father [2the 3grower 1is].

15:2  Every vine branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it; and every one [2fruit 1bearing], he cleanses it, that [2more 3fruit 1it should bear].

15:3  Already you are clean through the word which I have spoken to you.

15:4  Abide in me, and I in you! As the vine branch is not able [2fruit 1to bear] of itself, unless it should abide in the grapevine, so not even you, unless [2in 3me 1you should abide].

15:5  I am the grapevine, you are the vine branches. The one abiding in me, and I in him, this one bears [2fruit 1much]; for apart from me you are not able to do anything.

15:6  Unless one should abide in me, he is thrown outside as the vine branch, and withers; and they gather them, and [2them into 3the fire 1cast], and they are burned.

15:7  If you abide in me, and my words [2in 3you 1abide], whatever you should want, ask! and it shall be to you.

15:8  In this [2is glorified 1my father], that [3fruit 2much 1you should bear], and should become [2to me 1disciples].

15:9  As [3loved 4me 1the 2father], I also loved you; abide in the love, in the one mine!

15:10  If [2my commandments 1you should keep], you shall abide in my love; as I [2the 3commandments 4of my father 1have kept], and I abide [4of his 1in 2the 3love].

15:11  These things I have spoken to you, that [2joy 1my 4in 5you 3should abide], and your joy should be full.

15:12  This is [2commandment 1my], That you love one another! as I loved you.

15:13  Greater love than this no one has, that one [2his life 1should place] for his friends.

15:14  You [2my friends 1are], if you should do as much as I give charge to you.

15:15  No longer do I call you servants, for the servant knows not what [3does 1his 2master]. [3you 1But 2I have called] friends, for all things which I heard from my father I made known to you.

15:16  [3not 1You 2chose me], but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and [2fruit 1bear], and your fruit should abide; that whatever you should ask the father in my name, he should give to you.

15:17  These things I give charge to you, that you should love one another.

15:18  If the world detests you, know that [2me 3first 4before you 1it detested]!

15:19  If [2of 3the 4world 1you were], the world would [2its own 1be fond of]; but because [2of 3the 4world 1you are not], but I chose you from out of the world, on account of this [3detests 4you 1the 2world].

15:20  Remember the word which I said to you! [3not 2is 1A servant] greater than his master. If me they persecuted, also you they shall persecute. If [2my word 1they give heed to], then [2yours 1they will give heed to].

15:21  But all these things they shall do to you because of my name, for they know not the one having sent me.

15:22  Unless I came and spoke to them, [2sin 1they had not had]; but now [2an excuse 1they have not] concerning their sin.

15:23  The one detesting me, even [2my father 1detests].

15:24  If [2the 3works 1I did not] among them which no other has done, [2sin 1they had not had]; but now even they have seen and have detested even me and my father.

15:25  But that [3should be fulfilled 1the 2word] having been written in their law that, They detested me without a charge.

15:26  But whenever [3should come 1the 2comforter], whom I send to you from the father, the spirit of the truth, who from the father goes forth, that one will witness concerning me;

15:27  [2also 1and you] witness, for [4from 5the beginning 2with 3me 1you were].
