In context
1“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. 2Every branch in me that bears no fruit he removes, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, so that it will bear even more. 3You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. 4Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it stays on the vine, neither can you unless you remain in me. 5I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever remains in me, and I in him, bears much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
