1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes[a]so that it will be even more fruitful.
3
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4
Remain in me, as I also 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.
