^8 (A)By this my Father is glorified, that you ^(B)bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.

The Truth Will Set You Free

³¹ So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ^(A)“If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,

¹⁶ In the same way, let your light shine before others, so ^(A)that^[a] they may see your good works and ^(B)give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

¹¹ filled ^(A)with the fruit of righteousness that comes ^(B)through Jesus Christ, ^(C)to the glory and praise of God.

¹⁰ He who supplies ^(A)seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and ^(B)increase the harvest of your righteousness. ^11 (C)You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which ^(D)through us will produce thanksgiving to God. ¹² For the ministry of this service is not only supplying ^(E)the needs of the saints but is also overflowing in many thanksgivings to God. ¹³ By their approval of this service, ^(F)they^[a] will glorify God because of your submission that comes from your ^(G)confession of the gospel of Christ, and the generosity of your contribution for them and for all others, ¹⁴ while they long for you and pray for you, because of the surpassing grace of God upon you. ^15 (H)Thanks be to God for his inexpressible gift!

⁵ I am the vine; ^(A)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ^(B)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

¹¹ whoever speaks, as one who speaks ^(A)oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves ^(B)by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything ^(C)God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. ^(D)To him belong glory and ^(E)dominion forever and ever. Amen.

^35 (A)By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
