John 15

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.	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.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he will take away. And each one that does bear fruit, he will cleanse, so that it may bring forth more fruit.	2 dummy verses inserted by amos
3 You are clean now, because of the word that I have spoken to you.	3 dummy verses inserted by amos
4 Abide in me, and I in you. Just as the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so also are you unable, unless you abide in me.	4 dummy verses inserted by amos
5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without me, you are able to do nothing.	5 dummy verses inserted by amos
6 If anyone does not abide in me, he will be cast away, like a branch, and he will wither, and they will gather him and cast him into the fire, and he burns.	6 dummy verses inserted by amos
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, then you may ask for whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.	7 dummy verses inserted by amos
8 In this, my Father is glorified: that you should bring forth very much fruit and become my disciples.	8 dummy verses inserted by amos
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love.	9 dummy verses inserted by amos
10 If you keep my precepts, you shall abide in my love, just as I also have kept my Father’s precepts and I abide in his love.	10 dummy verses inserted by amos
11 These things I have spoken to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be fulfilled.	11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.
12 This is my precept: that you love one another, just as I have loved you.	12 This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.
13 No one has a greater love than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.	13 Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 You are my friends, if you do what I instruct you.	14 You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.
15 I will no longer call you servants, for the servant does not know what his Lord is doing. But I have called you friends, because everything whatsoever that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to 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.
16 You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And I have appointed you, so that you may go forth and bear fruit, and so that your fruit may last. Then whatever you have asked of the Father in my name, he shall give to you.	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.
17 This I command you: that you love one another.	17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.	18 If the world hate you, know ye, that it hath hated me before you.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates 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.
20 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.	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.
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.	21 But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.	22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.	23 He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not accomplished among them works that no other person has accomplished, they would not have sin. But now they have both seen me, and they have hated me and 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.
25 But this is so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law: ‘For they hated me without cause.’	25 But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.
26 But when the Advocate has arrived, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will offer testimony about me.	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.
27 And you shall offer testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.”	27 And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
