Goodspeed(i)
1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the cultivator.
2 Any branch of mine that does not bear fruit he trims away, and he prunes every branch that bears fruit, to make it bear more.
3 You are pruned already because of the teaching that I have given you.
4 You must remain united to me and I will remain united to you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains united to the vine, you cannot unless you remain united to me.
5 I am the vine, you are the branches. Anyone who remains united to me, with me united to him, will be very fruitful, for you cannot do anything apart from me.
6 Anyone who does not remain united to me is thrown away like a branch and withers up, and they gather them and throw them into the fire and burn them.
7 If you remain united to me and my words remain in your hearts, ask for whatever you please and you shall have it.
8 When you are very fruitful and show yourselves to be disciples of mine, my Father is honored.
