John 15:2
15:2 He takes away
every branch that does not bear
fruit in me. He
prunes
every branch that bears
fruit so that it will bear more fruit.
John 15:4-5
15:4 Remain
in me, and I will remain in you.
Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself,
unless it remains
in
the vine, so neither can you unless you remain
in me.
15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me – and I in him – bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.
