48 ^rI am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

4 ^vAbide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, ^wunless you abide in me. 5 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.

9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s¹ seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
