John 15:6

Read in context

John 15:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

5 I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing.

6 If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

8 This is to My Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, proving yourselves to be My disciples.
