John:15:1-17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I am the True Vine ,
and My Father is the Vinedresser .
*
Every branch in Me not bearing fruit ,
He takes it away ;
and each one bearing fruit ,
He prunes ,
so that it may bear more fruit .
*
You are already pruned because of the Word which I have spoken to you .
*
Remain in Me ,
and I in you .
As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself ,
unless it remain in the vine ,
so neither can you unless you remain in Me .
*
I am the Vine ;
you are the branches .
He that remains in Me ,
and I in him ,
this one bears much fruit .
For apart from Me you are not able to do anything .
*
Unless one remains in Me ,
he is cast out as the branch and is dried up ;
and they gather and throw them into a fire ,
and they are burned .
*
If you remain in Me ,
and My words remain in you ,
whatever you desire you will ask ,
and it shall happen to you .
*
In this My Father is glorified ,
that you should bear much fruit ;
and you will be My disciples .
*
As the Father loved Me ,
I also loved you ;
continue in My love .
*
If you keep My commandments you will continue in My love ,
as I have kept My Father '
s commandments and continue in His love .
*
I have spoken these things to you that My joy may abide in you ,
and your joy may be full .
*
This is My commandment ,
that you love one another as I loved you .
*
Greater love than this has no one ,
that anyone should lay down his soul for his friends .
*
You are My friends if you do whatever I command you .
*
I no longer call you slaves ,
for the slave does not know what his lord does .
But I called you friends ,
because all things which I heard from My Father I made known to you .
*
You have not chosen Me ,
but I chose you out and planted you ,
that you should go and should bear fruit ,
and your fruit remain ,
that whatever you should ask the Father in My name ,
He may give you .
*
These things I command you ,
that you love one another .
