John 15

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, 
neither can you, unless you abide in me.  I am the vine; you are the branches. 
Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.  
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends (Jesus died not for strangers that may or may not one day come to him but he died for his friends)
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you 
If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.   
Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you.
But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. 
Whoever hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father. 
“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
