John 15:4-14

4 1Remain in Me, 2and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit 3of itself 4but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. 5I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him 5 6bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in Me, he is 7thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, 8ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8My 9Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so 10 11prove to be My disciples. 9Just as 12the Father has loved Me, I also have loved you; remain in My love. 10 13If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love; just as 14I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 11 15These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your 16joy may be made full.

12“This is 17My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 13 18Greater love has no one than this, that a person will 19lay down his life for his friends. 14You are My 20friends if 21you do what I command you.
