1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me.5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.6 If a man does not remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.8 "In this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit; and so you will be my disciples.
