John 15:5 - Forerunner Commentary

John 15:5

3 ^aYou are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 ^aAbide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much ^afruit; for without Me you can do ^bnothing.

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, ^ahe is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.

7 If you abide in Me, and My words ^aabide in you, ^byou will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

8 ^aBy this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; ^bso you will be My disciples.

Love and Joy Perfected

9 “As the Father ^aloved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love.

10 ^aIf you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and ^athat your joy may be full.

12 ^aThis is My ^bcommandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
