³⁵ “I am^(A) the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “No one who comes to me^(B) will ever be hungry,^(C) and no one who believes in me^(D) will ever be thirsty^(E) again.

³³ For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

⁵¹ I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live^(A) forever.^(B) The bread that I will give for the life^(C) of the world is my flesh.”^(D)

⁵¹ Truly I tell you, if anyone keeps my word,^(A) he will never see death.”

Warning against Idolatry

¹⁴ So then, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. ¹⁵ I am speaking as to sensible people. Judge for yourselves what I am saying. ¹⁶ The cup^(A) of blessing^(B) that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread^(C) that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ? ¹⁷ Because there is one bread, we who are many are one^(D) body, since all of us share the one bread.

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, neither can you unless you remain in me.^(A)

⁵ I am the vine; ^(A) you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit,^(B) because you can do nothing without me.

¹⁵ I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master^[a](A) is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father.
