11:26 Today I put before you a blessing and a curse: 11:27 The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day: 11:28 And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.

15:1 I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener. 15:2 He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit. 15:3 You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you. 15:4 Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me. 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing. 15:6 If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned. 15:7 If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.
