John 15:1-7 ▼

1 |I am the true vine, and my Father is the vintner.

2 He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me, and he cuts back every branch that does produce fruit, so that it might produce more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of what I've spoken to you.

4 |Abide in me, and I will abide in you. Just as the branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me.

5 I am the vine, you are the branches. The one who abides in me while I abide in him produces much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing.

6 Unless a person abides in me, he is thrown away like a pruned branch and dries up. People gather such branches, throw them into a fire, and they are burned up.

7 |If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you'll receive it.
