Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.^{(A) 5} I am the vine; ^(B) you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit,^(C) because you can do nothing without me. ⁶ If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown aside^(D) like a branch and he withers. They gather them, throw them into the fire,^(E) and they are burned.^{(F) 7} If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want and it will be done for you.^(G)

⁶ The one who says he remains in him^(A) should walk just as he walked.

⁶ Everyone who remains in him^(A) does not sin;^[a](B) everyone who sins^[b] has not seen him or known him.

²⁴ The one who keeps his commands remains in him,^(A) and he in him. And the way we know that he remains in us^(B) is from the Spirit^(C) he has given us.

¹³ This is how we know that we remain in him^(A) and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.^(B)
