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.	Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.	Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.	He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
15:3	Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.	Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken unto you.	You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.	You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

If a man doesn’t remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.	If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.

No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father, I have made known unto you.	No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.	I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master`s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

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.	If ye were of the world, the world would love<S>5368, Leviticus2</S> its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore<S>1223, 5124</S> the world hateth you.	If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.	If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
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.	Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.	If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.	If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.	If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
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.	But this cometh to pass, that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.	But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’	But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.`
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:	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 bear witness of me:	“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.	“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.
15:27	And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.	and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.	You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.	And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.
