John 15:4-8
New King James Version
4 (A)Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.
5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much (B)fruit; for without Me you can do (C)nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, (D)he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words (E)abide in you, (F)you[a] will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 (G)By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; (H)so you will be My disciples.

John 15:4-8
Amplified Bible
4 Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself without remaining in the vine, neither can you [bear fruit, producing evidence of your faith] unless you remain in Me. 5 [a]I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken off] branch, and withers and dies; and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you. 8 My Father is glorified and honored by this, when you bear much fruit, and prove yourselves to be My [true] disciples.

4 (A)Abide (B)in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; (C)you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that (D)bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me (E)he is thrown away like a branch and withers; (F)and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If (G)you abide in me, and my words abide in you, (H)ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 (I)By this my Father is glorified, that you (J)bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
