““I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.2 Every branch in methat does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruithe prunes, that it may bear more fruit.3 Already you are clean because of the wordthat I have spoken to you.4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruitby itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.5 I amthe vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bearsmuch fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.”
