|If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
|If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
|
|If anyone does not stay in me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up. Then they gather the dried branches and throw them into the fire where they are burned up.
|
|There are a lot of implied and actual pronouns in the second sentence, which can lead to confusion in English, so I transfered "dried branches" from the first sentence for clarity. The KJV does the same thing, attempting to clear up the pronoun confusion by inserting "men" in the second sentence (neither anthropos nor aner appear in the text here).

|If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
|If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
|
|If you stay in me, and these teachings of mine stay in you, then whatever you ask shall be done to you.

|"Teachings" here is ῥῆμα, which emphasizes what Jesus is saying NOW, as opposed to the entirety of everything He has said (logos). By using ῥῆμα instead of logos, the point is that as we learn the many teachings of Jesus, we need to store them away, one by one, in our hearts. Each time He speaks a fresh thing to us, particularly those things which really jump out and seem to apply to what we are going through right now, we need be extra sure that we make that particular teaching (the thing He is saying to us right now) a part of who we are.

|Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
|Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
|
|This is how my Father is glorified, when you bear a lot of fruit. In this way you will be my disciples.
