Jesus Is the Vine—Followers Are Branches
1 “aI am the true vine, and My Father is the bvinedresser.
2 “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He 1prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
3 “aYou are already 1clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
4 “aAbide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit 1of itself 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, he abears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
6 “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is athrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
7 “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, aask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 “My aFather is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so 1bprove to be My disciples.
9 “Just as athe Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.
10 “aIf you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as bI have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
