John 15:2-4
Complete Jewish Bible
2 Every branch which is part of me but fails to bear fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit. 3 Right now, because of the word which I have spoken to you, you are pruned. 4 Stay united with me, as I will with you — for just as the branch can’t put forth fruit by itself apart from the vine, so you can’t bear fruit apart from me.

John 15:2-4
New International Version
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,(A) while every branch that does bear fruit(B) he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(C) 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you.(D) No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
