¹ I am the true vine and My Father is the vinedresser. ² Every branch not bearing fruit in Me, He takes it away; and every one bearing fruit, He prunes it that it may bear more fruit. ³ Already you are clean by reason of the word that I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither you, unless you abide in Me. ⁵ I am the vine; you are the branches. The one abiding in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit. For apart from Me you are able to do nothing. ⁶ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown out like the branch and is dried up, and they gather them and cast them into the fire, and it is burned. ⁷ If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you wish, and to you it will come to pass. ⁸ In this My Father is glorified, that you should bear much fruit, and you shall be My disciples.

¹⁷ But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and have become a fellow-partaker of the fatness of the root of the olive tree, ¹⁸ do not boast over the branches. And if you boast against them, you do not support the root, but the root you. ¹⁹ You will say, then, “Branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.” ²⁰ Rightly so: They were broken off by the unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be high minded, but be afraid. ²¹ For if God did not at all spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. ²² Behold therefore the kindness and severity of God: severity indeed upon those having fallen, but kindness of God toward you, if you continue in the kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. ²³ And even they, if they do not continue in unbelief, will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For if you were cut off out of the naturally wild olive tree, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these, the natural, be grafted into the own olive tree!
