5. "I am the vine. You are the branches. If anyone remains joined to me, and I to him, he will bear a lot of fruit. You can't do anything without me.
6. If anyone does not remain joined to me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned.
7. "If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be given to you.
8. When you bear a lot of fruit, it brings glory to my Father. It shows that you are my disciples.
