Memory Verses

The Vine and the Branches     1"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.     5"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. 8This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.     9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other. The World Hates the Disciples     18"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.'[b] If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. 22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates me hates my Father as well. 24If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.'[c]     26"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.

Galatians 5:13-6:10 (New International Version)

 13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to 
indulge the sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The 
entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as 
yourself."[b] 15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or 
you will be destroyed by each other.

Life by the Spirit 
 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the 
sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the 
Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in 
conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you 
are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. 
 19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity 
and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits 
of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, 
orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like 
this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, 
goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things 
there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the 
sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, 
let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, 
provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 6
Doing Good to All 
 1Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should 
restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. 2Carry 
each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. 
3If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 
4Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, 
without comparing himself to somebody else, 5for each one should carry his 
own load. 
 6Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things 
with his instructor. 

 7Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8The 
one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[c]will reap 
destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will 
reap eternal life. 9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper 
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10Therefore, as we have 
opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to 
the family of believers.
