This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

15:1 The branches must stay connected to the vine

15I am the true vine and my father is the farmer. 2He removes every one of my branches that doesn’t bear fruit, but those that do bear fruit, he prunes them so they’ll produce even more. 3You are all clean already because of the teaching that I’ve given you. 4Stay in me, and I will stay in you all, because just as a branch can’t bear fruit in isolation when it’s not connected to the vine, neither can you if you don’t stay in me.

5I am the vine and you all are the branches. Anyone who stays in me will produce a lot of fruitapart from me you can’t do anything. 6Anyone who doesn’t stay in me will be thrown away like a branch, and will wither and be gathered together with others, and thrown into the fire to be burnt. 7If you stay in me and my teaching stays in you, then you can request whatever you all want and it will be done for you. 8My father will be honoured and praised when you produce a lot of fruit, and you all become my followers. 9I loved you all just as the father loved me, so stay in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you all will be staying in my love, just like I’ve obeyed my father’s commands and I am staying in his love.

11I’ve told you these things so that I’ll be happy with you all, and so that your happiness will be genuine and long-lasting. 12[ref]So here’s my request: keep loving each other just like I loved you all. 13No one has greater love than the one who gives up their own life for their friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I am telling you. 15I’m not calling you slaves, because a slave doesn’t know his master’s plans, but I’m calling you friends because I’ve told you everything that I heard from my father. 16You didn’t choose me, but I chose you all, and I assigned you to go and produce fruit and for your fruit to be permanent so that whatever you request from the father in my name and authority, he will give it to you. 17I am telling you all this so that you can all love each other.

15:18 People will hate Yeshua-followers

18If the world hates you, you all know that it hated me before it hated you. 19If you belonged to this world, then the world would love you as it loves its own people, but you don’t belong to this world because I chose you out of it. That’s why they hate all of you. 20[ref]Remember that I told you that slaves are not greater than their master. So if they persecuted me, they’ll also be persecuting you all. (If they’d obeyed my teaching, they would also obey your teaching.) 21But they will do all these things against you because of my name, because they don’t know the father who sent me. 22They wouldn’t be considered sinners except that I came and spoke to them, so now they don’t have any excuse for their sin. 23Anyone who hates me, also hates my father. 24If I hadn’t done miracles among them of the sort that no one else has done, they wouldn’t be considered to be sinners, but now they’ve observed me and hated both me and my father. 25[ref]The writings of the prophets will certainly come to pass, that ‘they hated me undeservedly’.

26When the assistant arrives that I will send to you all from the father, the spirit of truth coming from the father, he will tell the truth about me. 27You also will be able to tell the truth about me because you all were with me from the beginning.
