King James Bible 2016
New Testament
| 15:1 | "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser." |
| 15:2 | Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." |
| 15:3 | Now you are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you." |
| 15:4 | Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." |
| 15:5 | "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit; because without Me you can do nothing." |
| 15:6 | If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and people gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned." |
| 15:7 | If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it will be done to you." |
| 15:8 | By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples." |
| 15:9 | "As the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; continue in My love." |
| 15:10 | 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." |
| 15:11 | "These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full." |
| 15:12 | This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." |
| 15:13 | No one has greater love than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." |
| 15:14 | You are My friends if you do whatever I command you." |
| 15:15 | No longer do I call you servants, because a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you." |
| 15:16 | You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." |
| 15:17 | These things I command you, that you love one another." |
| 15:18 | "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you." |
| 15:19 | If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." |
| 15:20 | Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant 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." |
| 15:21 | But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me." |
| 15:22 | If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin." |
| 15:23 | He who hates Me hates My Father also." |
| 15:24 | If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father." |
| 15:25 | But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a reason.'" |
| 15:26 | "But when the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me." |
| 15:27 | And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning." |
King James Bible 2016
Unlike most other modern versions, this Bible's text is based upon the same Hebrew Masoretic Text, and Greek Textus Receptus, of the King James Version of 1611.
In non Textus Receptus versions, the issue of having the best underlying manuscripts, is often overshadowed by the massive amount of omissions in the text. Because the KJV 2016 is not dealing with issues of omission and addition, the focus has been upon definition, and the KJV translators choices have been used as the benchmark.
One issue not often majored upon in the bible version debate is simply the way Greek words are defined. Many times, the NKJV leans upon the definition choices of modern versions as well as defaulting to Vines and Strong's definitions, which are almost always favorable to the Revised Version. In other words, one may have a correct text to translate from, but use erroneous modern version/modern dictionary definitions which change or distort the meaning of the words. Jay Green was accused of having a good TR bible but with "Alexandrian readings".
The KJV 2016 Edition rejects such erroneous modern definitions and restores the distinctness of historical KJV readings. The NKJV also tended to gravitate toward KJV marginal notes, which are in truth, rejected readings, and also toward Geneva Bible definitions, which the KJV had already cleared up.
