Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 14
³⁰ “I don’t have much more time to talk to you, because the ruler of this world approaches. He has no power over me,
³¹ but I will do what the Father requires of me, so that the world will know that I love the Father. Come, let’s be going.
John 15
¹ “I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener.
² He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
³ You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you.
⁴ Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.
⁵ “Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
⁶ Anyone who does not remain in me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
⁷ But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!
⁸ When you produce much fruit, you are my true disciples. This brings great glory to my Father.
⁹ “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love.
