⁴ Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me.^(A)

⁵ “I am the vine;^(B) you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him produces much fruit,^(C) because you can do nothing without Me. ⁶ If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown aside^(D) like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire,^(E) and they are burned.^{(F) 7} If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.^{(G) 8} My Father is glorified^(H) by this: that you produce much fruit and prove to be^[a] My disciples.
