Evangelium secundum Ioannem, 15

1. ego sum vitis vera et Pater meus agricola est

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. omnem palmitem in me non ferentem fructum tollet eum et omnem qui fert fructum purgabit eum ut fructum plus adferat

2.

3. jam vos mundi estis propter sermonem quem locutus sum vobis

3.

4. manete in me et ego in vobis sicut palmes non potest ferre fructum a semet ipso nisi manserit in vite sic nec vos nisi in me manseritis

4.

5. ego sum vitis vos palmites qui manet in me et ego in eo hic fert fructum multum quia sine me nihil potestis facere

5.

6. si quis in me non manserit mittetur foras sicut palmes et aruit et colligent eos et in ignem mittunt et ardent

6.

7. si manseritis in me et verba mea in vobis manserint quodcumque volueritis petetis et fiet vobis

7.

8. in hoc clarificatus est Pater meus ut fructum plurimum adferatis et efficiamini mei discipuli

8.

9. sicut dilexit me Pater et ego dilexi vos manete in dilectione mea

9.

10. si præcepta mea servaveritis manebitis in dilectione mea sicut et ego Patris mei præcepta servavi et maneo in ejus dilectione

10.

11. hæc locutus sum vobis ut gaudium meum in vobis sit et gaudium vestrum impleatur

11. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be filled.

12. hoc est præceptum meum ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos

12. This is my commandment, that you love one another, as I have loved you.

13. majorem hac dilectionem nemo habet ut animam suam quis ponat pro amicis suis

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

14. vos amici mei estis si feceritis quæ ego præcipio vobis

14. You are my friends, if you do the things that I command you.

15. jam non dico vos servos quia servus nescit quid facit dominus ejus vos autem dixi amicos quia omnia quæcumque audivi a Patre meo nota feci vobis

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. non vos me elegistis sed ego elegi vos et posui vos ut eatis et fructum adferatis et fructus vester maneat ut quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo det vobis

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. hæc mando vobis ut diligatis invicem

17. These things I command you, that you love one another.

18. si mundus vos odit scitote quia me priorem vobis odio habuit

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

19. si de mundo fuissetis mundus quod suum erat diligeret quia vero de mundo non estis sed ego elegi vos de mundo propterea odit vos mundus

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. mementote sermonis mei quem ego dixi vobis non est servus major domino suo si me persecuti sunt et vos persequentur si sermonem meum servaverunt et vestrum servabunt

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. sed hæc omnia facient vobis propter nomen meum quia nesciunt eum qui misit 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. si non venissem et locutus fuissem eis peccatum non haberent nunc autem excusationem non habent de peccato suo

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. qui me odit et Patrem meum odit

23. He that hateth me, hateth my Father also.

24. si opera non fecissem in eis quæ nemo alius fecit peccatum non haberent nunc autem et viderunt et oderunt et me et Patrem meum

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. sed ut impleatur sermo qui in lege eorum scriptus est quia odio me habuerunt gratis

25. But that the word may be fulfilled which is written in their law: They hated me without cause.

26. cum autem venerit paracletus quem ego mittam vobis a Patre Spiritum veritatis qui a Patre procedit ille testimonium perhibebit de 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. et vos testimonium perhibetis quia ab initio mecum estis

27. And you shall give testimony, because you are with me from the beginning.
