GospeL Verses ~ John 15:1-17
1 - “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinekeeper [geórgos - from gé - the earth, land, and ergon - work]. 2 Every branch - in me - that doesn’t bear fruit he takes away from the vine, and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes so it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean [katharós - a primitive word – properly, "without admixture" what is separated, purged so clean, pure because unmixed, without undesirable elements, figuratively spiritually clean because purged/purified by God, i.e. free from contaminating influences] because of all I have spoken to (instructed) you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit on its own and by itself, unless it stays on the vine, neither can you - unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine. You are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in them, will bear much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me they are cast away, and like a fallen off branch, it withers and is gathered to be thrown into the fire, and burned. (In a bonfire, not in an eternal fire pit, Mt.13:30 is Rev.16:13-16; Rev.13:13 was the 1st ‘bonfire’ but carried out by an office. The 1st seal 6 event, but hidden by describing the seals as their entire effects, first to very last, at the beginning of the vision.) 7 If you abide in me, and, my words abide in you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you. 8 By this my Father is glorified. For you will bear much fruit and prove you are my disciples. 9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commands [entolé - injunctions, orders, commands, from en - in, at, by, with, and télos - the end-aim, reach the end, consummation, focusing on the end result, objective of the instruction] then you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commands/instructions and abide/stay/dwell in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you so that my joy will be in you, and so your joy will be full.
12 “And this is my commandment - that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down their life (and interests) for their friends, 14 and you are my friends if you do as I say.
15 No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what their master/mister/boss is doing. But I call you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father, I have made known to you. 16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. And I have appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should endure, so that whatever you may ask the Father in my name (for my cause) he will give it to you. 17 This I command you, that you love one another.
(I think the message to translators, sometimes is just too simple.. So they hazed it a little, well actually a lot. Chose the harshest interpretations and some overly difficult instructions. As a small example some versions say - “These things I command you, so that you will love one another” when the simple direct translation is the straightforward - “This I command you - this is my command - that you love one another.” Best done by abiding/staying in him.)

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ 1 Peter 4:1-8 ~
1 - Since therefore Jesus suffered in this life, arm yourselves with the same thinking, for whoever has suffered in this life has ceased from habitual wrongdoing, 2 so as to live for the rest of the time in this life no longer for human passions but for the will of God. 3 For the time is past and suffices for doing what the nations (natural, imperfect mankind) want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and the lawlessness idolatry results in. 4 In this they they think it strange when you don’t run with them in the flood of debauchery, and they speak evil of you. 5 But they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 To this end indeed even to the dead the good news is (will be ) announced so that judged indeed (discerned) according to mankind in this life (as we presently know it?) but live [záō – to live, experience God's gift of life] however in the spirit according to God.
7 The end of all things is at hand (that age, concluding at 70 CE) therefore be self-controlled and sober-minded for the sake of your prayers. 8 Above all, keep genuinely and wholeheartedly loving one another, since love covers a multitude of sins [hamartia - missing the mark, flaws, shortcomings].
