²⁷ “^(A)Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.

⁵ And ^(A)you shall love the Lord your God ^(B)with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

^4 (A)Remain in Me, ^[a]and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit ^[b]of itself ^[c]but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. ⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him ^[d](B)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not remain in Me, he is ^(C)thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

²⁰ Behold, I stand ^(A)at the door and ^(B)knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, ^(C)I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
