¹ "I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman. ² Every branch in Me that bears not fruit, He taketh it away: and every one that bears fruit, He cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Already ye are clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, unless ye abide in Me. ⁵ I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abides in Me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit; because, apart from Me, ye can do nothing. ⁶ Unless one abides in Me, he was cast forth as a branch, and withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done to you. ⁸ In this was My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, and become My disciples.

¹⁷ And, if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became a joint-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the Olive tree; ¹⁸ boast not against the branches. But, if you boast, it is not you that bear the root; but the root, you. ¹⁹ You will say, then, "The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." ²⁰ Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear. ²¹ For, if God spared not the natural branches, neither will He spare you. ²² Behold, then, God's kindness and severity; toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise, you also shall be cut off. ²³ And they also, if they continue not in unbelief, shall be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again. ²⁴ For, if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted, contrary to nature, into a good olive tree; how much more shall these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?
