Verse KJV King James Version YLT Young's Literal Translation

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman .

` I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman ;

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 .

every branch in me not bearing fruit , He doth take it away , and every one bearing fruit, He doth cleanse by pruning it, that it may bear more fruit ;

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you .

already ye are clean , because of the word that I have spoken to you ;

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.

remain in me, and I in you , as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, if it may not remain in the vine , so neither ye, if ye may not remain in me.

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.

` I am the vine, ye the branches ; he who is remaining in me, and I in him, this one doth bear much fruit , because apart from me ye are not able to do anything;

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 .

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will , and it shall be done unto you.

if ye may remain in me, and my sayings in you may remain , whatever ye may wish ye shall ask, and it shall be done to you.

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples.

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 .

if my commandments ye may keep , ye shall remain in my love , according as I the commands of my Father have kept, and do remain in His love ;

These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

these things I have spoken to you, that my joy in you may remain , and your joy may be full.

This is my commandment , That ye love one another, as I have loved you .

` This is my command , that ye love one another, according as I did love you ;

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends .

greater love than this hath no one , that any one his life may lay down for his friends ;

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you .

ye are my friends, if ye may do whatever I command you ;

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.

` These things I command you, that ye love one another ;

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you .

if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you ;

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.

if of the world ye were , the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

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 .

` Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord ; if me they did persecute , you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep , yours also they will keep;

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake , because they know not him that sent me .

but all these things will they do to you , because of my name , because they have not known Him who sent me ;

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law , They hated me without a cause.

And ye also shall bear witness , because ye have been with me from the beginning.

and ye also do testify , because from the beginning ye are with me .
