NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that bears no fruit he cuts away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunesto make it bear even more.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.
3 You are clean already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you.3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Remain in me, as I in you. As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself, unless it remains part of the vine,neither can you unless you remain in me.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.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, with me in him, bears fruit in plenty; forcut off from me you can do nothing.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.
6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a branch -- and withers; these branches arecol ected and thrown on the fire and are burnt.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.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and you wilget it.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.
8 It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit and be my disciples.8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments you wil remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father'scommandments and remain in his love.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.
11 I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I command you.14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 I shall no longer cal you servants, because a servant does not know the master's business; I cal youfriends, because I have made known to you everything I have learnt from my Father.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.
16 You did not choose me, no, I chose you; and I commissioned you to go out and to bear fruit, fruit thatwil last; so that the Father wil give you anything you ask him in my name.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.
17 My command to you is to love one another.17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hates you, you must realise that it hated me before it hated you.18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you do not belong tothe world, because my choice of you has drawn you out of the world, that is why the world hates you.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.
20 Remember the words I said to you: A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me,they will persecute you too; if they kept my word, they will keep yours as wel .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.
21 But it wil be on my account that they will do al this to you, because they do not know the one whosent me.21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come, if I had not spoken to them, they would have been blameless; but as it is they haveno excuse for their sin.22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
23 Anyone who hates me hates my Father.23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not performed such works among them as no one else has ever done, they would beblameless; but as it is, in spite of what they have seen, they hate both me and my Father.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.
25 But al this was only to fulfil the words written in their Law: They hated me without reason.25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 When the Paraclete comes, whom I shal send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who issuesfrom the Father, he wil be my witness.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:
27 And you too will be witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
