John 15:1-8 (New Living Translation)
View In My Bible
1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2
He cuts off every branch that doesn't produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.
3
You have already been pruned for greater fruitfulness by the message I have given you.
4
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me.
5
"Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.
6
Anyone who parts from me is thrown away like a useless branch and withers. Such branches are gathered into a pile to be burned.
7
But if you stay joined to me and my words remain in you, you may ask any request you like, and it will be granted!
8
My true disciples produce much fruit. This brings great glory to my Father.
