Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Ihr habt mich nicht erwählt; sondern ich habe euch erwählt und gesetzt, daß ihr hingeht und Frucht bringt und eure Frucht bleibe, auf daß, so ihr den Vater bittet in meinem Namen, er's euch gebe.
No me elegisteis vosotros a mí, mas yo os elegí a vosotros; y os he puesto para que vayáis y llevéis fruto, y vuestro fruto permanezca: para que todo lo que pidiereis del Padre en mi nombre, Él os lo dé.
Ce n'est pas vous qui m'avez choisi; mais moi, je vous ai choisis, et je vous ai établis, afin que vous alliez, et que vous portiez du fruit, et que votre fruit demeure, afin que ce que vous demanderez au Père en mon nom, il vous le donne.
Voi non avete eletto me, ma io ho eletti voi; e vi ho costituiti, acciocchè andiate, e portiate frutto, e il vostro frutto sia permanente; acciocchè qualunque cosa chiederete al Padre nel mio nome, egli ve la dia.
Não me escolhestes vós a mim, mas eu vos escolhi a vós, e vos nomeei, para que vades e deis fruto, e o vosso fruto permaneça; a fim de que tudo quanto em meu nome pedirdes ao Pai ele vo-lo conceda.
不是你們揀選了我,而是我揀選了你們,並且派你們去結果子,讓你們的果子得以長存,好使你們奉我的名,無論向父求甚麼,他會賜給你們。
