1 "I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me which does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch which bears fruit He prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit on its own, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; because apart from Me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask whatever you may desire, and it shall be done for you. 8 By this My Father is glorified, that you may bear much fruit; and you will become My disciples.
