John 15:1-5 (New Revised Standard)
1
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.
2
He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes a to make it bear more fruit.
3
You have already been cleansed b by the word that I have spoken to you.
4
Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.
5
I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.
