(v.5a)  apart from me, you can do nothing. (v.5b)  If you do not remain in me...you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers... (v.6)  If you remain in me and my words remain in you... you bear much fruit (v.7-8)

Life on the Vine Remaining In Jesus “If I speak in human or angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
