The Vine And The Branches

¹ "I am the Vine--the True Vine, and my Father is the vine-dresser. ² Every branch in me--if it bears no fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. ³ Already you are cleansed--through the teaching which I have given you.
