John 15:1-8

Living_Oracles(i) 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the vine dresser. 2 Every barren branch in me, he lops off; every fruitful branch he cleans by pruning, to render it more fruitful. 3 As for you, you are already clean, through the instructions I have given you. 4 Abide in me, and I will abide in you; as the branch can not bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, no more can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in me, and in whom I abide, produces much fruit; for, severed from me, you can do nothing. 6 If any man abide not in me, he is cast forth like withered branches, which are gathered for fuel, and burnt. 7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you may ask what you will, and it shall be granted you. 8 In this is my Father glorified, that you produce much fruit; so shall you be my disciples.
