21 Even you, who were formerly alienated in mind, and enemies by wicked works,
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser.2 Every barren branch in me, he lops off; every fruitful branch he cleans by pruning, to render it more fruitful.3 As for you, you are already clean, through the instructions I have given you.4 Abide in me, and I will abide in you; as the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me.5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in me, and in whom I abide, produces much fruit; for, severed from me, you can do nothing.6 If any man abide not in me, he is cast forth like withered branches, which are gathered for fuel, and burnt.7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you may ask what you will, and it shall be granted you.8 In this is my Father glorified, that you produce much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
