1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.

2 He removes every branch in me that does not produce fruit, and he cleanses every branch that does produce fruit so that it might produce more fruit.

3 You are already clean because of the word that I have 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 himproduces much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
