John 15:1-11
I Am the True Vine
“I am the atrue vine, and my Father is bthe vinedresser. 2 aEvery branch in me that does not bear fruit bhe takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, cthat it may bear more fruit. 3 Already ayou are clean bbecause of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 aAbide bin me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; ayou are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bbears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me, ahe is thrown away like a branch and withers; band the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If ayou abide in me, and my words abide in you, bask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 aBy this my Father is glorified, that you bbear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. 9 aAs the Father has loved me, bso have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 aIf you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as bI have kept cmy Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, athat my joy may be in you, and that byour joy may be full.
