John 15:4-14

4 Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. A branch cannot bear fruit by itself; it can do so only if it remains in the vine. In the same way you cannot bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5 "I am the vine, and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will bear much fruit; for you can do nothing without me.
6 Those who do not remain in me are thrown out like a branch and dry up; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, where they are burned.
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, then you will ask for anything you wish, and you shall have it.
8 My Father's glory is shown by your bearing much fruit; and in this way you become my disciples.
9 I love you just as the Father loves me; remain in my love.
10 If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed 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.
12 My commandment is this: love one another, just as I love you. 1
13 The greatest love you can have for your friends is to give your life for them.
14 And you are my friends if you do what I command you.
