"I am the Vine"

"I am the true vine,

and My Father is the gardener.

He cuts off every branch in Me

that bears no fruit,

while every branch that does bear fruit

He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.

I am the vine;

you are the branches.

If a man remains in Me and I in him,

he will bear much fruit;

apart from Me you can do nothing.

This is My Father's glory,

that you bear much fruit,

showing yourselves to be My disciples.

(John 15:1-2,5,8)
