- I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. 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.
- You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
- 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.
- But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
- When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
- When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.
- I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!
- This is my commandment: Love each other in the same way I have loved you.
- There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
- 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.
- If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.
- But I will send you the Advocate—the Spirit of truth. He will come to you from the Father and will testify all about me.
