Jesus the True Vine

15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.

⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

God Is Love

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.^{(A) 8} Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.

¹¹ Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.^{(A) 12} No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.^(B)

¹³ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

¹⁸ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; for fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not reached perfection in love.
