⁵ I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

¹³ I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

¹⁰ that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

² Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,

³ seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue;

⁴ by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

⁵ Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

⁶ and in knowledge, self-control; and in self-control patience; and in patience godliness;

⁷ and in godliness brotherly affection; and in brotherly affection, love.

⁸ For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful to the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

⁹ For he who lacks these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.

¹⁰ Therefore, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble.

¹¹ For thus will be richly supplied to you the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

¹² Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth.

¹³ I think it right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you;

¹⁴ knowing that the putting off of my tent comes swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.

¹⁵ Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

¹⁶ For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

¹⁷ For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

¹⁸ This voice we heard come out of heaven when we were with him in the holy mountain.

³⁰ The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.

¹⁷ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

¹⁶ You didn't choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

¹¹ being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

⁴ Therefore, my brothers, you also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you would be joined to another, to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit to God.

¹² There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

¹⁹ Jesus therefore answered them, "Most assuredly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

¹⁷ Not that I seek for the gift, but I seek for the fruit that increases to your account.

⁶ He spoke this parable. "A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it, and found none.

⁷ He said to the vine dresser, 'Behold, these three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why does it waste the soil?'

⁸ He answered, 'Lord, leave it alone this year also, until I dig around it, and fertilize it.

⁹ If it bears fruit, fine; but if not, after that, you can cut it down.'"

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing."

⁸ For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

²² But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

¹⁰ Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;

⁴ coming to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.

⁶ which has come to you; even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth;

²⁴ Most assuredly I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.

⁵ so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

⁸ They feed on the sin of my people, And set their heart on their iniquity.

¹⁶ The cup of blessing which we bless, isn't it a communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, isn't it a communion of the body of Christ?

⁹ for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

²⁷ Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.

¹² For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
