John 15:2-8

2Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He trims so that it may bear more fruit.

3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

4Abide in Me, and I will abide in you. The branch cannot itself produce fruit, unless it abides on the vine. Likewise, you cannot produce fruit unless you abide in Me.

5“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for apart from Me, you can do nothing.

6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and is dried up. Such branches are picked up and thrown into the fire and burned.

7“If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.

8In this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be My disciples.”
