15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains ¹  in me – and I in him – bears ²  much fruit, ³  because apart from me you can accomplish ⁴  nothing. 15:6 If anyone does not remain ⁵  in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, ⁶  and are burned up. ⁷  15:7 If you remain ⁸  in me and my words remain ⁹  in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. ¹⁰  15:8 My Father is honored ¹¹  by this, that ¹²  you bear ¹³  much fruit and show that you are ¹⁴  my disciples.

15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain ¹⁵  in my love. 15:10 If you obey ¹⁶  my commandments, you will remain ¹⁷  in my love, just as I have obeyed ¹⁸  my Father’s commandments and remain ¹⁹  in his love. 15:11 I have told you these things ²⁰  so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete. 15:12 My commandment is this – to love one another just as I have loved you. ²¹  15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life ²²  for his friends. 15:14 You are my friends ²³  if you do what I command you. 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, ²⁴  because the slave does not understand ²⁵  what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything ²⁶  I heard ²⁷  from my Father. 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you ²⁸  and appointed you to go and bear ²⁹  fruit, fruit that remains, ³⁰  so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you. 15:17 This ³¹  I command you – to love one another.
