John 15

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW JERUSALEM
1 If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love.	1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.
2 dummy verses inserted by amos	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.
3 dummy verses inserted by amos	3 You are clean already, by means of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 dummy verses inserted by amos	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.
5 dummy verses inserted by amos	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.
6 dummy verses inserted by amos	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.
7 dummy verses inserted by amos	7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for whatever you please and you wilget it.
8 dummy verses inserted by amos	8 It is to the glory of my Father that you should bear much fruit and be my disciples.
9 dummy verses inserted by amos	9 I have loved you just as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
10 dummy verses inserted by amos	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.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.	11 I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete.
12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.	12 This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.	13 No one can have greater love than to lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.	14 You are my friends, if you do what I command you.
15 I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends: because all things whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to 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.
16 You have not chosen me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it 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.
17 These things I command you, that you love one another.	17 My command to you is to love one another.
18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.	18 If the world hates you, you must realise that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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.
20 Remember my word that I said to you: The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.	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 .
21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me.	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.
22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.	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.
23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.	23 Anyone who hates me hates my Father.
24 If I had not done among them the works that no other man hath done, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.	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.
25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.	25 But al this was only to fulfil the words written in their Law: They hated me without reason.
26 But when the Paraclete cometh, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the Father, he shall give testimony of me.	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.
27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.	27 And you too will be witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.
