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^[a] 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, so 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, testified to them by giving^[a] the Holy Spirit, just as He also did to us.^(A)
