The New Testament: The Gospel According to Saint John: Chapter 15
|
|
{16}
Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and [that] your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
|
{17}
These things I command you, that ye may love one another.
|
{18}
If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before [it hated] you.
|
{19}
If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
|
{20}
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.
|
{21}
But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
|
{22}
If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin.
|
{23}
He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
|
{24}
If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
|
{25}
But [this cometh to pass], that the word may be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
|
{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 bear witness of me:
|
{27}
and ye also bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

The New Testament: The Gospel According to Saint John: Chapter 16
|
|
{1}
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be caused to stumble.
|
{2}
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the hour cometh, that whosoever killeth you shall think that he offereth service unto God.
|
{3}
And these things will they do, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
|
{4}
But these things have I spoken unto you, that when their hour is come, ye may remember them, how that I told you. And these things I said not unto you from the beginning, because I was with you.
|
{5}
But now I go unto him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
|
{6}
But because I have spoken these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
|
{7}
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
|
{8}
And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
|
{9}
of sin, because they believe not on me;
