Any unfruitful branch in me he takes away, and he cleanses every fruitful branch, that it may bear more fruit.

Remain united to me, and I will remain united to you. As a branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains united to the vine; no more can you, unless you remain united to me.

I am the Vine, you are the branches. He that remains united to me, while I remain united to him--he bears fruit plentifully; for you can do nothing apart from me.

It is by your bearing fruit plentifully, and so showing yourselves my disciples, that my Father is honored.

It was not you who chose me, but I who chose you, and I appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that should remain, so that the Father might grant you whatever you ask in my Name.
