John 15:1–5
15 “I amas the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 Every branch in me that does not produce fruit he removes,at and he prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit. 3 You are already cleanau because of the word I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you. Just as a branch is unable to produce fruit by itself unless it remains on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me.av 5 I am the vine;aw you are the branches. The one who remains in me and I in him produces much fruit,ax because you can do nothing without me.
