John 15:1-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

15 I am the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

² Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

³ Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

⁴ Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

⁵ I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
