1I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the keeper of the vineyard. 1Ἐγώ εἰμι ἄμπελος ἀληθινή καὶ Πατήρ μου γεωργός ἐστιν
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. 2πᾶν κλῆμα ἐν ἐμοὶ μὴ φέρον καρπὸν αἴρει αὐτό καὶ πᾶν τὸ καρπὸν φέρον καθαίρει αὐτὸ ἵνα καρπὸν πλείονα φέρῃ
3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 3ἤδη ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε διὰ τὸν λόγον ὃν λελάληκα ὑμῖν
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. 4μείνατε ἐν ἐμοί κἀγὼ ἐν ὑμῖν καθὼς τὸ κλῆμα οὐ δύναται καρπὸν φέρειν ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ ἐὰν μὴ μένῃ ἐν τῇ ἀμπέλῳ οὕτως οὐδὲ ὑμεῖς ἐὰν μὴ ἐν ἐμοὶ μένητε
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. 5Ἐγώ εἰμι ἄμπελος ὑμεῖς τὰ κλήματα μένων ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ οὗτος φέρει καρπὸν πολύν ὅτι χωρὶς ἐμοῦ οὐ δύνασθε ποιεῖν οὐδέν
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. 6ἐὰν μή τις μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν καὶ καίεται
7If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 7ἐὰν μείνητε ἐν ἐμοὶ καὶ τὰ ῥήματά μου ἐν ὑμῖν μείνῃ ἐὰν θέλητε αἰτήσασθε καὶ γενήσεται ὑμῖν
8This [is to] My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, [proving] yourselves to be My disciples. 8ἐν τούτῳ ἐδοξάσθη Πατήρ μου ἵνα καρπὸν πολὺν φέρητε καὶ γένησθε* ἐμοὶ μαθηταί
9As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love. 9Καθὼς ἠγάπησέν με Πατήρ κἀγὼ ὑμᾶς ἠγάπησα μείνατε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ τῇ ἐμῇ
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. 10ἐὰν τὰς ἐντολάς μου τηρήσητε μενεῖτε ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ μου καθὼς ἐγὼ «τοῦ Πατρός μου» «τὰς ἐντολὰς» τετήρηκα καὶ μένω αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ἀγάπῃ
11I have told you these things so that My joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. 11Ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν ἵνα χαρὰ ἐμὴ ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ χαρὰ ὑμῶν πληρωθῇ
12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 12Αὕτη ἐστὶν ἐντολὴ ἐμὴ ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς
13Greater love has no one than this, that [he] lay down his life for his friends. 13μείζονα ταύτης ἀγάπην οὐδεὶς ἔχει ἵνα τις τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ θῇ ὑπὲρ τῶν φίλων αὐτοῦ
14You are My friends if you do what I command you. 14Ὑμεῖς φίλοι μού ἐστε ἐὰν ποιῆτε ἃ* ἐγὼ ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν
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. 15οὐκέτι λέγω ὑμᾶς δούλους ὅτι δοῦλος οὐκ οἶδεν τί ποιεῖ αὐτοῦ κύριος ὑμᾶς δὲ εἴρηκα φίλους ὅτι πάντα ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου ἐγνώρισα ὑμῖν
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. 16οὐχ ὑμεῖς με ἐξελέξασθε ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ ἐξελεξάμην ὑμᾶς καὶ ἔθηκα ὑμᾶς ἵνα ὑμεῖς ὑπάγητε καὶ καρπὸν φέρητε καὶ καρπὸς ὑμῶν μένῃ ἵνα ὅ¦τι ἂν αἰτήσητε τὸν Πατέρα ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δῷ ὑμῖν
17This is My command to you: Love one another. 17ταῦτα ἐντέλλομαι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους
18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me [first]. 18Εἰ κόσμος ὑμᾶς μισεῖ γινώσκετε ὅτι ἐμὲ πρῶτον ὑμῶν μεμίσηκεν
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. 19εἰ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἦτε κόσμος ἂν τὸ ἴδιον ἐφίλει ὅτι δὲ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ ἐστέ ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ ἐξελεξάμην ὑμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου διὰ τοῦτο μισεῖ ὑμᾶς κόσμος
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. 20Μνημονεύετε τοῦ λόγου οὗ ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν Οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μείζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ εἰ ἐμὲ ἐδίωξαν καὶ ὑμᾶς διώξουσιν εἰ τὸν λόγον μου ἐτήρησαν καὶ τὸν ὑμέτερον τηρήσουσιν
21But they will treat you like this on account of My name, because they do not know the [One who] sent Me. 21ἀλλὰ ταῦτα πάντα ποιήσουσιν εἰς ὑμᾶς διὰ τὸ ὄνομά μου ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασιν τὸν πέμψαντά με
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. 22εἰ μὴ ἦλθον καὶ ἐλάλησα αὐτοῖς ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν νῦν δὲ πρόφασιν οὐκ ἔχουσιν περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν
23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well. 23 ἐμὲ μισῶν καὶ τὸν Πατέρα μου μισεῖ
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. 24εἰ τὰ ἔργα μὴ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς οὐδεὶς ἄλλος ἐποίησεν ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν νῦν δὲ καὶ ἑωράκασιν καὶ μεμισήκασιν καὶ ἐμὲ καὶ τὸν Πατέρα μου
25But [this is] to fulfill [what] is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’ 25ἀλλ’ ἵνα πληρωθῇ λόγος ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτῶν γεγραμμένος ὅτι Ἐμίσησάν με δωρεάν
26When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father— the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father— He will testify about Me. 26Ὅταν ἔλθῃ Παράκλητος ὃν ἐγὼ πέμψω ὑμῖν παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός τὸ Πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας παρὰ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορεύεται ἐκεῖνος μαρτυρήσει περὶ ἐμοῦ
27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from [the] beginning. 27καὶ ὑμεῖς δὲ μαρτυρεῖτε ὅτι ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἐστε
