As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abide in the vine; so neither can you unless you continue in me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. He who continueth in me and I in him he it is who beareth much fruit. Because, separated from me, you can bear nothing: ⁶ if any one continueth not in me he is thrown away as the branch is when it is withered. Such indeed are gathered and thrown into the fire and burned.
