John 15:4-6
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.
15:6 If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up.
