John 15:1-4

1“1I amG1510 the trueG228 vineG288, and My FatherG3962 is the 2vinedresserG1092.

2EveryG3956 branchG2814 in Me that does not bearG5342 fruitG2590, He takesG142 awayG142; and everyG3956 branch that bearsG5342 fruitG2590, He 3prunesG2508 it soG2443 thatG2443 it may bearG5342 moreG4183 fruitG2590.

34You are alreadyG2235 5cleanG2513 becauseG1223 of the wordG3056 whichG3739 I have spokenG2980 to you.

46RemainG3306 in Me, 7and I in you. JustG2531 asG2531 the branchG2814 cannotG1410G3756 bearG5342 fruitG2590 8of itselfG1438 9but must remainG3306 in the vineG288, soG3779 neitherG3761 can you unlessG1437G3361 you remainG3306 in Me.
