For they themselves report about us what kind of entrance we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves [after] the former lusts, [as you did in] your ignorance;

I will plant in the dry land the cedar and box, the myrtle and cypress, and white poplar;

And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle; and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.

"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

I am the vine, you [are] the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; because apart from Me you can do nothing.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
