New American Standard Bible 1995
John 15:1-7
1“1I am the true vine, and My Father is the 2vinedresser.
2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He 3prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
34You are already 5clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.
46Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit 7of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
5I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he 8bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.
6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is 9thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
7If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, 10ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
