I Am the True Vine
1 "I am the [Jer. 2:21] true vine, and my Father is [1 Cor. 3:9]the vinedresser.4 ver. 5-7;1 John 2:6;[Phil. 1:11;Col. 1:23]; See ch. 6:56Abide See ch. 3:15in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.5 I am the vine; Rom. 6:5you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that ver. 16;Col. 1:6,10bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.7 If See ch. 8:31you abide in me, and my words abide in you, See ch. 14:13ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
16 You did not choose me, but See ch. 13:18I chose you and appointed you that you should go and [2 John 8] bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that [ver. 7]; See ch. 14:13whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.
