“Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.

Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!

You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.

This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.

When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.

Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.

I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!

When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

This is my command: Love each other.

The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
