15:1 |
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. |
|
15:2 |
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. |
|
15:3 |
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. |
|
15:4 |
Remain 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. |
|
15:5 |
"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. |
|
15:6 |
If 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. |
|
15:7 |
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. |
|
15:8 |
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. |
