John 15:4-5 "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides on the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing."
To God be the glory.
