Àwọn Ẹsẹ Bíbélì Tí Ọ̀pọ̀ Èèyàn Mọ Yochanan (Jhn) 15

Pín

“I am the vine and you are the branches. Those who stay united with me, and I with them, are the ones who bear much fruit; because apart from me you can’t do a thing.

Stay united with me, as I will with you — for just as the branch can’t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine, so you can’t bear fruit apart from me.

“If you remain united with me, and my words with you, then ask whatever you want, and it will happen for you.

You did not choose me, I chose you; and I have commissioned you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last; so that whatever you ask from the Father in my name he may give you.

No one has greater love than a person who lays down his life for his friends.

Every branch which is part of me but fails to bear fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

“This is my command: that you keep on loving each other just as I have loved you.

This is how my Father is glorified — in your bearing much fruit; this is how you will prove to be my talmidim.

“I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener.

Unless a person remains united with me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up. Such branches are gathered and thrown into the fire, where they are burned up.

I have said this to you so that my joy may be in you, and your joy be complete.

If you keep my commands, you will stay in my love — just as I have kept my Father’s commands and stay in his love.

This is what I command you: keep loving each other!

If you belonged to the world, the world would have loved its own. But because you do not belong to the world — on the contrary, I have picked you out of the world — therefore the world hates you.
