John 15:1-8
1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman:
2 every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away, and every one that beareth fruit, He purgeth, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide therefore in me, and I will abide in you: for as the branch cannot bear fruit of it self, unless it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches; he that abideth in me, and I in him, beareth much fruit: but without me ye can do nothing.
6 If any one abide not in me, he is cast out as a useless branch and withereth: and they gather them up, and throw them into the fire, and they are burnt.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask what ye will, and it shall be granted you.
8 Herein is my father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.

9 For we are fellow-laborers, the servants of God: and ye are the husbandry of God, ye are the building of God.
