15:1  ego sum vitis vera et Pater meus       1.  I am the true vine, and my Father
agricola est                                 is the husbandman.

15:2  omnem palmitem in me non ferentem      2.  Every branch in me that beareth not
fructum tollet eum et omnem qui fert         fruit he taketh away: and every branch
fructum purgabit eum ut fructum plus         that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that
adferat                                      it may bring forth more fruit.

15:3  iam vos mundi estis propter            3.  Now ye are clean through the word
sermonem quem locutus sum vobis              which I have spoken unto you.

15:4  manete in me et ego in vobis           4.  Abide in me, and I in you. As the
sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a      branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
semet ipso nisi manserit in vite sic         except it abide in the vine; no more
nec vos nisi in me manseritis                can ye, except ye abide in me.

15:5  ego sum vitis vos palmites qui         5.  I am the vine, ye are the branches:
manet in me et ego in eo hic fert            He that abideth in me, and I in him,
fructum multum quia sine me nihil            the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
potestis facere                              without me ye can do nothing.

15:6  si quis in me non manserit             6.  If a man abide not in me, he is
mittetur foras sicut palmes et aruit et      cast forth as a branch, and is
colligent eos et in ignem mittunt et         withered; and men gather them, and cast
ardent                                       them into the fire, and they are burned.

15:7  si manseritis in me et verba mea       7.  If ye abide in me, and my words
in vobis manserint quodcumque                abide in you, ye shall ask what ye
volueritis petetis et fiet vobis             will, and it shall be done unto you.

15:8  in hoc clarificatus est Pater          8.  Herein is my Father glorified, that
meus ut fructum plurimum adferatis et        ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
efficiamini mei discipuli                    disciples.

15:9  sicut dilexit me Pater et ego          9.  As the Father hath loved me, so
dilexi vos manete in dilectione mea          have I loved you: continue ye in my
                                             love.

15:10  si praecepta mea servaveritis         10.  If ye keep my commandments, ye
manebitis in dilectione mea sicut et         shall abide in my love; even as I have
ego Patris mei praecepta servavi et          kept my Father's commandments, and
maneo in eius dilectione                     abide in his love.

15:11  haec locutus sum vobis ut             11.  These things have I spoken unto
gaudium meum in vobis sit et gaudium         you, that my joy might remain in you,
vestrum impleatur                            and that your joy might be full.

15:12  hoc est praeceptum meum ut            12.  This is my commandment, That ye
diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos           love one another, as I have loved you.

15:13  maiorem hac dilectionem nemo          13.  Greater love hath no man than
habet ut animam suam quis ponat pro          this, that a man lay down his life for
amicis suis                                  his friends.

15:14  vos amici mei estis si feceritis      14.  Ye are my friends, if ye do
quae ego praecipio vobis                     whatsoever I command you.

15:15  iam non dico vos servos quia          15.  Henceforth I call you not
servus nescit quid facit dominus eius        servants; for the servant knoweth not
vos autem dixi amicos quia omnia             what his lord doeth: but I have called
quaecumque audivi a Patre meo nota feci      you friends; for all things that I have
vobis                                        heard of my Father I have made known
                                             unto you.

15:16  non vos me elegistis sed ego          16.  Ye have not chosen me, but I have
elegi vos et posui vos ut eatis et           chosen you, and ordained you, that ye
fructum adferatis et fructus vester          should go and bring forth fruit, and
maneat ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem       that your fruit should remain: that
in nomine meo det vobis                      whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
                                             in my name, he may give it you.

15:17  haec mando vobis ut diligatis         17.  These things I command you, that
invicem                                      ye love one another.

15:18  si mundus vos odit scitote quia       18.  If the world hate you, ye know
me priorem vobis odio habuit                 that it hated me before it hated you.

15:19  si de mundo fuissetis mundus          19.  If ye were of the world, the world
quod suum erat diligeret quia vero de        would love his own: but because ye are
mundo non estis sed ego elegi vos de         not of the world, but I have chosen you
mundo propterea odit vos mundus              out of the world, therefore the world
                                             hateth you.

15:20  mementote sermonis mei quem ego       20.  Remember the word that I said unto
dixi vobis non est servus maior domino       you, The servant is not greater than
suo si me persecuti sunt et vos              his lord. If they have persecuted me,
persequentur si sermonem meum                they will also persecute you; if they
servaverunt et vestrum servabunt             have kept my saying, they will keep
                                             yours also.

15:21  sed haec omnia facient vobis          21.  But all these things will they do
propter nomen meum quia nesciunt eum         unto you for my name's sake, because
qui misit me                                 they know not him that sent me.

15:22  si non venissem et locutus            22.  If I had not come and spoken unto
fuissem eis peccatum non haberent nunc       them, they had not had sin: but now
autem excusationem non habent de             they have no cloak for their sin.
peccato suo

15:23  qui me odit et Patrem meum odit       23.  He that hateth me hateth my Father
                                             also.

15:24  si opera non fecissem in eis          24.  If I had not done among them the
quae nemo alius fecit peccatum non           works which none other man did, they
haberent nunc autem et viderunt et           had not had sin: but now have they both
oderunt et me et Patrem meum                 seen and hated both me and my Father.

15:25  sed ut impleatur sermo qui in         25.  But this cometh to pass, that the
lege eorum scriptus est quia odio me         word might be fulfilled that is written
habuerunt gratis                             in their law, They hated me without a
                                             cause.

15:26  cum autem venerit paracletus          26.  But when the Comforter is come,
quem ego mittam vobis a Patre Spiritum       whom I will send unto you from the
veritatis qui a Patre procedit ille          Father, even the Spirit of truth, which
testimonium perhibebit de me                 proceedeth from the Father, he shall
                                             testify of me:

15:27  et vos testimonium perhibetis         27.  And ye also shall bear witness,
quia ab initio mecum estis                   because ye have been with me from the
                                             beginning.
