Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 15:1-8.


John 15:4

_ _ Abide in me, and I in you; as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, etc. — As all spiritual fruitfulness had been ascribed to the mutual inhabitation, and living, active interpenetration (so to speak) of Christ and His disciples, so here the keeping up of this vital connection is made essential to continued fruitfulness.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 15:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 15:4

Abide in me — Ye who are now pure by living faith, producing all holiness; by which alone ye can be in me.
