Chapter 15

egw eimi h ampeloV h alhqinh kai o pathr mou o gewrgoV estin
15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

pan klhma en emoi mh feron karpon airei auto kai pan to karpon feron kaqairei auto ina pleiona karpon ferh
15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

hdh umeiV kaqaroi este dia ton logon on lelalhka umin
15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

meinate en emoi kagw en umin kaqwV to klhma ou dunatai karpon ferein af eautou ean mh meinh en th ampelw outwV oude umeiV ean mh en emoi meinhte
15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

egw eimi h ampeloV umeiV ta klhmata o menwn en emoi kagw en autw outoV ferei karpon polun oti cwriV emou ou dunasqe poiein ouden
15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

ean mh tiV meinh en emoi eblhqh exw wV to klhma kai exhranqh kai sunagousin auta kai eiV pur ballousin kai kaietai
15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast [them] into the fire, and they are burned.

ean meinhte en emoi kai ta rhmata mou en umin meinh o ean qelhte aithsesqe kai genhsetai umin
15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

en toutw edoxasqh o pathr mou ina karpon polun ferhte kai genhsesqe emoi maqhtai
15:8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

kaqwV hgaphsen me o pathr kagw hgaphsa umaV meinate en th agaph th emh
15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

ean taV entolaV mou thrhshte meneite en th agaph mou kaqwV egw taV entolaV tou patroV mou tethrhka kai menw autou en th agaph
15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

tauta lelalhka umin ina h cara h emh en umin meinh kai h cara umwn plhrwqh
15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.

auth estin h entolh h emh ina agapate allhlouV kaqwV hgaphsa umaV
15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

meizona tauthV agaphn oudeiV ecei ina tiV thn yuchn autou qh uper twn filwn autou
15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

umeiV filoi mou este ean poihte osa egw entellomai umin
15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

ouketi umaV legw doulouV oti o douloV ouk oiden ti poiei autou o kurioV umaV de eirhka filouV oti panta a hkousa para tou patroV mou egnwrisa umin
15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

ouc umeiV me exelexasqe all egw exelexamhn umaV kai eqhka umaV ina umeiV upaghte kai karpon ferhte kai o karpoV umwn menh ina o ti an aithshte ton patera en tw onomati mou dw umin
15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

tauta entellomai umin ina agapate allhlouV
15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

ei o kosmoV umaV misei ginwskete oti eme prwton umwn memishken
15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

ei ek tou kosmou hte o kosmoV an to idion efilei oti de ek tou kosmou ouk este all egw exelexamhn umaV ek tou kosmou dia touto misei umaV o kosmoV
15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

mnhmoneuete tou logou ou egw eipon umin ouk estin douloV meizwn tou kuriou autou ei eme ediwxan kai umaV diwxousin ei ton logon mou ethrhsan kai ton umeteron thrhsousin
15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

alla tauta panta poihsousin umin dia to onoma mou oti ouk oidasin ton pemyanta me
15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

ei mh hlqon kai elalhsa autoiV amartian ouk eicon nun de profasin ouk ecousin peri thV amartiaV autwn
15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

o eme miswn kai ton patera mou misei
15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

ei ta erga mh epoihsa en autoiV a oudeiV alloV pepoihken amartian ouk eicon nun de kai ewrakasin kai memishkasin kai eme kai ton patera mou
15:24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

all ina plhrwqh o logoV o gegrammenoV en tw nomw autwn oti emishsan me dwrean
15:25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

otan de elqh o paraklhtoV on egw pemyw umin para tou patroV to pneuma thV alhqeiaV o para tou patroV ekporeuetai ekeinoV marturhsei peri emou
15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

kai umeiV de martureite oti ap archV met emou este
15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
