1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.
|
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
|
|
2 He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.
|
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.
|
|
3 You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
|
3 You are already clean because of the word 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.
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
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.
|
|
6 Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
|
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.
