Johannes 15

² Hver Gren på mig, som ikke bærer Frugt, den borttager han, og hver den, som bærer Frugt, renser han, for at den skal bære mere Frugt.

² Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

⁴ Bliver i mig, da bliver også jeg i eder. Ligesom Grenen ikke kan bære Frugt af sig selv, uden den bliver på Vintræet, således kunne I ikke heller, uden I blive i mig.

⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

⁶ Om nogen ikke bliver i mig, han bliver udkastet som en Gren og visner; man sanker dem og kaster dem i Ilden, og de brændes.

⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

⁸ Derved er min Fader herliggjort, at I bære megen Frugt, og I skulle blive mine Disciple.

⁸ My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.

¹⁰ Dersom I holde mine Befalinger, skulle I blive i min Kærlighed, ligesom jeg har holdt min Faders Befalinger og bliver i hans Kærlighed.

¹⁰ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

¹² Dette er min Befaling, at I skulle elske hverandre, ligesom jeg har elsket eder.

¹² “This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

¹⁴ I ere mine Venner, dersom I gøre, hvad jeg befaler eder.

¹⁴ You are My friends if you do what I command you.

¹⁶ I have ikke udvalgt mig, men jeg har udvalgt eder og sat eder til, at I skulle gå hen og bære Frugt, og eders Frugt skal blive ved, for at Faderen skal give eder, hvad som helst I bede ham om i mit Navn.

¹⁶ You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

¹⁸ Når Verden hader eder, da vid, at den har hadet mig førend eder.

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

²⁰ Kommer det Ord i Hu, som jeg har sagt eder: En Tjener er ikke større end sin Herre. Have de forfulgt mig, ville de også forfølge eder; have de holdt mit Ord, ville de også holde eders.

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

²² Dersom jeg ikke var kommen og havde talt til dem, havde de ikke Synd; men nu have de ingen Undskyldning for deres Synd.

²² If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²⁴ Havde jeg ikke gjort de Gerninger iblandt dem, som ingen anden har gjort, havde de ikke Synd; men nu have de set dem og dog hadet både mig og min Fader.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

²⁶ Men når Talsmanden kommer, som jeg skal sende eder fra Faderen, Sandhedens Ånd, som udgår fra Faderen, da skal han vidne om mig.

²⁶ “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,
