John 15:2-8
2EveryG3956 branchG2814 in Me that does not bearG5342 fruitG2590, He takesG142 awayG142; and everyG3956 branch that bearsG5342 fruitG2590, He 1prunesG2508 it soG2443 that it may bearG5342 moreG4183 fruitG2590.
32You are alreadyG2235 3cleanG2513 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 to you.
44AbideG3306 in Me, and I in you. As the branchG2814 cannotG1410G3756 bearG5342 fruitG2590 5of itselfG1438 unlessG1437G3361 it abidesG3306 in the vineG288, soG3779 neitherG3761 can you unlessG1437G3361 you abideG3306 in Me.
5I amG1510 the vineG288, you are the branchesG2814; he who abidesG3306 in Me and I in him, he 6bearsG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590, for apartG5565 from Me you canG1410 doG4160 nothingG3756G3762.
6IfG1437 anyoneG5100 does not abideG3306 in Me, he is 7thrownG906 awayG1854 as a branchG2814 and driesG3583 up; and they gatherG4863 them, and castG906 them into the fireG4442 and they are burnedG2545.
7IfG1437 you abideG3306 in Me, and My wordsG4487 abideG3306 in you, 8askG154 whateverG3739G1437 you wishG2309, and it will be doneG1096 for you.
8My 9FatherG3962 is glorifiedG1392 by thisG3778, that you bearG5342 muchG4183 fruitG2590, and so 1011proveG1096 to be My disciplesG3101.
