¹³ If you then, who are evil,^(A) know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father^(B) give the Holy Spirit^(C) to those who ask him?”

⁴ Remain in me, and I in you. 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)

³² We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit^(A) whom God has given to those who obey him.”

⁸ And God, who knows the heart, bore witness to them by giving them the Holy Spirit, just as he also did to us.^(A)
