"^(a)I am the true vine, and My Father is the ^(b)vinedresser.

Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He ^[a]prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

^(c)You are already ^[b]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

^(d)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit ^[c]of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he ^(e)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

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

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ^(g)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

My ^(h)Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so ^[d](i)prove to be My disciples.

Just as ^(j)the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

^(k)If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as ^(l)I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

^(m)These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your ⁽ⁿ⁾joy may be made full.

"This is ^(o)My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

^(p)Greater love has no one than this, that one ^(q)lay down his life for his friends.

You are My ^(r)friends if ^(s)you do what I command you.

No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for ^(t)all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.

^(u)You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and ^(v)bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that ^(w)whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.
