1 »I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator.

2 »He takes away the branches in me that do not bear fruit. He cleans every branch that bears fruit. That way it may bear more fruit.

3 »You are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.

4 »Remain with me, and I with you. The branch cannot bear fruit by itself. It must remain on the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain with me.

5 »I am the vine and you are the branches. He that remains with me, and I with him, the same bears much fruit. You can do nothing apart from me.

6 »If a man does not remain with me, he is removed as a branch, and withers. They gather them and throw them into the fire where they are burned destroyedconsumed.

7 »If you remain with me, and my words remain with you, ask whatever you will, and it will be done for you.

8 »My Father is glorified when you bear much fruit. You will be my disciples.
