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)

³¹ So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word,^[a](A) you really are My disciples. ³² You will know the truth,^(B) and the truth will set you free.”
