John 15 — Context

1

I am the true vine and my Father is the gardener.

2

He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

3

You are clean, even now, through the teaching which I have given you.

4

Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

5

I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.
