⁵ I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him ^[a](A)bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not remain in Me, he is ^(B)thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

^10 (A)If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love; just as ^(B)I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love.

Martha and Mary

³⁸ Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named ^(A)Martha welcomed Him into her home. ³⁹ And she had a sister called ^(B)Mary, who was also ^(C)seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. ⁴⁰ But ^(D)Martha was distracted with ^[a]all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving ^[b]by myself? Then tell her to help me.” ⁴¹ But the Lord answered and said to her, “^(E)Martha, Martha, you are ^(F)worried and distracted by many things; ^42 (G)but only one thing is necessary; for ^(H)Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

⁶ the one who says that he ^(A)remains in Him ^(B)ought, himself also, walk just as He walked.

²⁷ And as for you, the ^(A)anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing ^(B)teaches you about all things, and is ^(C)true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, ^[a]you remain in Him.

²⁸ Now, ^(D)little children, remain in Him, so that when He ^(E)appears, we may have ^(F)confidence and ^(G)not ^[b]draw back from Him in shame ^[c]at His ^(H)coming.

⁶ No one who remains in Him ^(A)sins continually; no one who sins continually has seen Him or ^[a](B)knows Him.
