John 15:16

You did not choose me,
but I chose you.
I have appointed you [planted you] to go out [into the world]
and to bear fruit continually, and your fruit shall remain [people who are saved and become disciples of Jesus themselves],
then [the result of your being chosen and living in my will, being branches of the vine, see verse 7]
the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
