I am the true vine, and my Father is the vintner.

He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch

that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit.

​

You are already clean because of what I've spoken to you.

Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself

unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.

​

I am the vine, you are the branches.

The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit,

because apart from me you can do nothing.  

Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a pruned branch and dries up.

People gather such branches, throw them into a fire, and they are burned up.   

​

If you abide in me and my words abide in you,

you can ask for anything you want, and you will receive it.  

This is how my Father is glorified, when you produce a lot of fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

 

Just as the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. So abide in my love.  

If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, 

just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.
