John 15:3-8

3 "¹You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 "²Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot * bear fruit of itself unless * it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless * you abide in Me.

5 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he ³bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing *.

6 "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is ⁴thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ⁵ask whatever * you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 "My ⁶Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ⁷prove to be My disciples.
