15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains 7 in me – and I in him – bears 8 much fruit, 9 because apart from me you can accomplish 10 nothing. 15:6 If anyone does not remain 11 in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, 12 and are burned up. 13 15:7 If you remain 14 in me and my words remain 15 in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you. 16 15:8 My Father is honored 17 by this, that 18 you bear 19 much fruit and show that you are 20 my disciples.
15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain 21 in my love. 15:10 If you obey 22 my commandments, you will remain 23 in my love, just as I have obeyed 24 my Father’s commandments and remain 25 in his love. 15:11 I have told you these things 26 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. 27 15:13 No one has greater love than this – that one lays down his life 28 for his friends. 15:14 You are my friends 29 if you do what I command you. 15:15 I no longer call you slaves, 30 because the slave does not understand 31 what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything 32 I heard 33 from my Father. 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you 34 and appointed you to go and bear 35 fruit, fruit that remains, 36 so that whatever you ask the Father in my name he will give you.
