Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:3 ←
You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
John 15:4 ←
Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.
John 15:5 ←
I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

You are my friends if you do whatever I command you.
John 15:15 ←
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.
