⁷ But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!

¹³ You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. ¹⁴ Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

²² You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it.”

¹⁴ And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. ¹⁵ And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

¹⁶ If you see a fellow believer^[a] sinning in a way that does not lead to death, you should pray, and God will give that person life. But there is a sin that leads to death, and I am not saying you should pray for those who commit it.

²⁰ When I am raised to life again, you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
