I am the true vine , and my Father is the husbandman . Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit , he purgeth it , that it may bring forth more fruit . Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you . Abide in me, and I in you . As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself , except it abide in the vine ; no more can ye , except ye abide in me . I am the vine , ye are the branches : He that abideth in me , and I in him , the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing . If a man abide not in me , he is cast forth as a branch and is withered ; and men gather them , and cast them into the fire , and they are burned . If ye abide in me , and my words abide in you , ye shall ask what ye will , and it shall be done unto you . Herein is my Father glorified , that ye bear much fruit ; so shall ye be my disciples . As the Father hath loved me , so have I loved you: continue ye in my love . If ye keep my Commandments , ye shall abide in my love ; even as I have kept my Father's commandments , and abide in his love . These things have I spoken unto you , that my joy might remain in you , and that your joy might be full . This is my commandment , That ye love one another , as I have loved you . 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 .
JOHN 14: 1-12, 16
