    1The Vine and the Branches“I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

    2He takes away every branch that does not bear fruit in me. He prunes every branch that bears fruit so that it will bear more fruit.

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

    4Remain in me, and I will remain in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.

    5“I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in me– and I in him– bears much fruit, because apart from me you can accomplish nothing.

    6If anyone does not remain in me, he is thrown out like a branch, and dries up; and such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and are burned up.

    7If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you want, and it will be done for you.
