John 15:1-8
1 I am the true vine; and my Father is the cultivator.
2 Every branch in me, which yieldeth not fruits, he taketh it away: and that which yieldeth fruits, he cleanseth it, that it may yield more fruits.
3 Ye henceforth are clean, on account of the discourse I have held with you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot yield fruits of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so also, neither can ye, unless ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, and ye are the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, he yieldeth much fruit; for without me, ye can do nothing.
6 And if a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a withered branch; and they gather it up, and cast it into the fire to be burned.
7 But if ye shall abide in me, and my instructions shall abide in you, whatever ye shall be pleased to ask, it will be given to you.
8 In this is the Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and ye will be my disciples.

9 For we labor with God: and ye are God's husbandry, and God's edifice.
