John 15:1-8

Modern English Version

Jesus the True Vine

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. ² Every branch in Me that bears no fruit, He takes away. And every branch that bears fruit, He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. ³ You are already clean through the word which I have spoken to you. ⁴ Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, neither can you, unless you remain in Me.

⁵ “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who remains in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit. For without Me you can do nothing. ⁶ If a man does not remain in Me, he is thrown out as a branch and withers. And they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. ⁷ If you remain in Me, and My words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it shall be done for you. ⁸ My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
