John 15:4-14

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I AM the vine, ye are the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

6 He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an unsound branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and 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 In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.

9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide 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 I have spoken unto you that my joy may abide in you and that your joy might be fulfilled.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another as I have loved you.

13 Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his soul for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends if ye do whatsoever I command you.
