2
Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
3
Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you.
4
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, no more can ye, unless ye abide in Me.
5
"I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without Me ye can do nothing.
6
If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
7
If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
8
Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.
9
"As the Father hath loved Me, so have I loved you. Continue ye in My love.
10
If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide in My love, even as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love.
11
These things have I spoken unto you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12
"This is My commandment: that ye love one another, as I have loved you.
