The Truth Shall Make You Free

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you ^(A)abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

^9 (A)Whoever ^[a]transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son.

^4 (A)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

⁵ “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much ^(B)fruit; for without Me you can do ^(C)nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, ^(D)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me, and My words ^(E)abide in you, ^(F)you^[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. ^8 (G)By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; ^(H)so you will be My disciples.

Love and Joy Perfected

⁹ “As the Father ^(I)loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

¹⁴ But you must ^(A)continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

²³ if indeed you continue ^(A)in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are ^(B)not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, ^(C)which was preached to every creature under heaven, ^(D)of which I, Paul, became a minister.
