“I am the Vine;
My Father is the Gardener.
Each branch that bears no fruit,
He cuts away;
While every branch that yields
good fruit, He trims and cleans,
So that it will still
more produce each day.
Now you are clean
because of My Word’s work in you.
Remain in Me,
and I’ll remain in you.
Just as a branch
without the vine can bear no fruit,
So you must stay
in Me if you would bear fruit too.
“I am the Vine;
if you, like branches, stay in Me
And I in you,
you’ll bear much fruit in turn.
Apart from Me,
you can accomplish naught for God;
You’re like a branch
that withers and is burned.
But if you stay in Me
and I in you each day,
Ask what you wish;
it will be given you.
God will be glorified
because you bear much fruit,
For thus you show
yourselves to be disciples true.
“Just as the Father
loves Me, so I love you too.
Obey My Word,
and you’ll stay in My care,
Just as I too obey
My Father God above,
And in His love remain
fore’er and e’er.
I’ve told you this
so that My joy may be in you,
And that your own joy
may now overflow.
Here’s My command:
Love others just as I’ve loved you;
To die for friends—this is
the greatest love you’ll know.
“You are My friends
if you do what I now command;
You’re not mere servants,
knowing not My will.
I’ve called you friends, for
everything I’ve learned from God,
I have made known,
and now I tell you still.
You chose Me not,
but I have chosen each of you,
To go and bear
much fruit that will remain.
Then God will give you
all you ask in My own Name.
Love one another;
hear now My command again.”
