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.
