7 If you abide in me, and my words ^yabide in you, ^zask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8 ^aBy this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so ^bprove to be my disciples.

9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever ^pabides in the teaching ^qhas both the Father and the Son.
