John:15:1-17
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
I am the true vine ,
and My Father is the vinedresser .
*
Every branch in Me which does not bear fruit He takes away ;
and every [
branch ]
which bears fruit He prunes ,
so that it may bear more fruit .
*
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you .
*
Abide in Me ,
and I in you .
Just as the branch cannot bear fruit on its own ,
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 ,
bears much fruit ;
because apart from Me you can do nothing .
*
If anyone does not abide in Me ,
he is cast out like a branch and dries up ;
and they gather them and throw [
them ]
into the fire ,
and they are burned .
*
If you abide in Me ,
and My words abide in you ,
you will ask what ever you may desire ,
and it shall be done for you .
*
By this My Father is glorified ,
that you may bear much fruit ;
and you will become My disciples .
* "
Just as the Father loved Me ,
I also have loved you ;
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 I abide in His love .
*
These things I have spoken to you ,
that My joy may abide in you ,
and that your joy may be full .
*
This is My commandment ,
that you love one another as I have loved you .
*
Greater love has no one than this ,
that one should lay down his life on behalf of his friends .
*
You are My friends if you do what I command you .
*
No longer do I call you servants ,
because a servant does not know what his master is doing ;
but I have called you friends ,
because all things which I heard from My Father I have made known to you .
*
You did not choose Me ,
but I chose you ,
and appointed you ,
that you should go and bear fruit ,
and that your fruit should remain ,
so that whatever you may ask the Father in My name He may give to you .
*
These things I command you ,
that you may love one another .
