³⁰ “^(A)I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and ^(B)My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but ^(C)the will of Him who sent Me.

⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he ^(A)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

²⁸ “^(A)Come to Me, all ^[a]who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and ^(B)learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and ^(C)you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For ^(D)My yoke is ^[b]easy and My burden is light.”

²⁰ I have been ^(A)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but ^(B)Christ lives in me; and ^[a]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in ^(C)the Son of God, who ^(D)loved me and ^(E)gave Himself up for me.

The Believer’s Rest

4 Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have ^(A)come short of it. ² For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but ^(B)the word ^[a]they heard did not profit them, because ^[b]it was not united by faith in those who heard. ³ For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said,

although His works were finished ^(D)from the foundation of the world.
