1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2. As to every branch in me not bearing fruit, he takes it away; and as to every one bearing fruit, he purges it that it may bring forth more fruit.
3. Ye are already clean by reason of the word which I have spoken to you.
4. Abide in me and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine, thus neither can ye unless ye abide in me.
5. I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in me and I in him, he bears much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing.
