6
If anyone does not abide in me 1he is thrown away like a branch and withers; 2and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7
If 3you abide in me, and my words abide in you, 4ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8
5By this my Father is glorified, that you 6bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9
7As the Father has loved me, 8so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
10
9If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as 10I have kept 11my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
11
These things I have spoken to you, 12that my joy may be in you, and that 13your joy may be full.
12
14"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13
15Greater love has no one than this, 16that someone lay down his life for his friends.
14
You are 17my friends 18if you do what I command you.
15
19No longer do I call you servants,[a] for the servant[b]20 does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for 21all that I have heard from my Father 22I have made known to you.
16
You did not choose me, but 23I chose you and appointed you that you should go and 24bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that 25whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
