The True Vine
1 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.4 John 17:23; Eph. 3:17; (Col. 1:23)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much Hos. 14:8; (Gal. 5:22, 23)fruit; for without Me you can do 2 Cor. 3:5nothing.7 If you abide in Me, and My words 1 John 2:14abide in you, John 14:13; 16:23you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
16 John 6:70; 13:18; 15:19; 1 John 4:10You did not choose Me, but I chose you and (Matt. 28:19; Mark 16:15; Col. 1:6)appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father John 14:13; 16:23, 24in My name He may give you.
