Yahukanun (John) — 15
YAHUSHA the True Vine
1 “I Am the true grapevine, and My ABBA is the gardener.
2 ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will cut off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit, and ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
3 You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
4 Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
5 “Yes, I Am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
6 Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
7 But if you remain in me and my Dabar remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
8 When you produce much fruit, you are My true Talmidym. This brings great Kabad to My ABBA.
9 “I have loved you even as ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH has loved me. Remain in My love.
10 When you obey My commandments, you remain in My love, just as I obey My ABBA’s commandments and remain in ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH's love.
11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
12 This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
13 There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
14 You are My friends if you do what I command.
15 I no longer call you slaves, because a master does not confide in his slaves. Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH told me.
16 You did not choose Me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH will give you whatever you ask for, using my Name.
17 This is My command: Love each other.
The World’s Hatred
18 “If the world hates you, remember that the world hated me first.
19 The world would love you as one of their own if you belonged to them, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world system, so the world hates you.
20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted Me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to Me, they would listen to you.
21 They will do all this to you because of Me, for they have rejected 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH who sent me.
22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Anyone who hates me also hates My ABBA.
24 If I had not done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate Me and My ABBA.
25 This fulfills what is written in the Scriptures: ‘They hated Me without cause.’
26 “But I will send you the Advocate, the RUACH of Truth. He will come to you from ABBA 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH and will testify all about Me.
27 And you must also testify about Me because you have been with Me from the beginning of My ministration.
