John 15:2-13
New International Version
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,(A) while every branch that does bear fruit(B) he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(C) 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you.(D) No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;(E) apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.(F) 7 If you remain in me(G) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.(H) 8 This is to my Father’s glory,(I) that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.(J)
9 “As the Father has loved me,(K) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commands,(L) you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11 I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.(M) 12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.(N) 13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.(O)
