John 15:4-5
15:4 Remain
in me, and I will remain in you.
Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
unless it remains
in
the vine, so neither can you unless you remain
in me.
15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me – and I in him – bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.
John 15:7
15:7 If you remain
in me and my words remain
in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
John 15:2
15:2 He takes away
every branch that does not bear
fruit in me. He
prunes
every branch that bears
fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
Colossians 3:4-5
3:4 When Christ (who is your
life) appears, then you too will be revealed in glory with him.
3:5 So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth:
sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion,
evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.
