John 15:1-6

ECB(i) 1
ABIDING IN THE VINE
I AM the true vine, and my Father the cultivator. 2 Every branch in me that bears not fruit he takes away: and every branch that bears fruit, he purifies to bear much more fruit. 3 Already you are pure through the word I spoke to you. 4 Exactly as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine; thus neither can you unless you abide in me. 5 I AM the vine, you are the branches: whoever abides in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit: for apart from me you can do naught. 6 Unless anyone abides in me, he is cast as a branch and withers; and men gather them and cast them into the fire and burn them.
