1 "I AM the true Vine and my Father is the Vine-grower.
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every one that bears fruit he cleanses, that it may bear more fruit.
3 You are already clean through the word that I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of 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 \'97 he bears much fruit; but without me you cannot do anything.
6 If any one does not abide in me, he is cast out like a branch and withers, and they gather them and throw them into the fire and they are burned.
7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask what you will and it will be done for you.
8 By this is my Father glorified \'97 by your bearing much fruit and becoming my disciples.
