| 16. Formal Translation You did not choose Me {Iesous, Sovereign Caller}, but I chose you and appointed you, so that you may go and bear fruit, and that your fruit may remain, so that whatever you ask the Father {Pater, Generous Giver} in My name, He may give to you. |
| 16. Dynamic Translation You were not the ones who chose Me {Iesous, Purposeful Sender}; instead, I chose you and commissioned you so that you would go and produce fruit, and that your fruit would last, so that whatever you ask the Father {Pater, Attentive Hearer} in My name, He may give to you. |
