The selected passage is highlighted. Context is a study aid.

15:1I AM the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

15:2Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

15:3Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

15:4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

15:5I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

15:6If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

15:7If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
