⁴³ “For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

⁴⁴ For every tree is known by his own fruit. For from thorns men do not gather figs, nor from a bramble bush gather they grapes.

⁴⁵ A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil; for of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaketh.

15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the husbandman.

² Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away; and every branch that beareth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now ye are clean through the Word which I have spoken unto you.

⁴ “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, no more can ye, unless ye abide in Me.

⁵ “I am the vine, ye are the branches. He that abideth in Me and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without Me ye can do nothing.

⁶ If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

⁷ If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

⁸ Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be My disciples.
