John 15:4-11

New International Version

⁴ Remain in me, as I also remain in you.^(A) 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;^(B) 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.^{(C) 7} If you remain in me^(D) and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.^{(E) 8} This is to my Father’s glory,^(F) that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.^(G)

⁹ “As the Father has loved me,^(H) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰ If you keep my commands,^(I) 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.^(J)
