1 I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he shall take away; and every one that bears fruit, he shall purge that they may bring forth more fruit.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abides in the vine, no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

5 I AM the vine, ye [are] the branches: he that abides in me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.

6 He who does not abide in me shall be cast forth as an [unsound] branch and shall wither, and they are gathered and cast into the fire and are burned.

7 If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 In this is my Father clarified, in that ye bear much fruit; and in this manner ye shall be my disciples.
