John 14:24

He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.

KJV

ὁ μὴ ἀγαπῶν με τοὺς λόγους μου οὐ τηρεῖ· καὶ ὁ λόγος ὃν ἀκούετε οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὸς ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με πατρός.

Greek NT

qui non diligit me, sermones meos non servat. Et sermonem, quem audistis, non est meus : sed ejus qui misit me, Patris.

Vulgate

He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

ASV

He that loveth me not keepeth not my words. And the word which you have heard is not mine; but the Father's who sent me.
