John 15:7

Prayer Following Jesus God's word

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.

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.

⁹ As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Remain in My love.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
