"I am the true vine,
and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me
that bears no fruit,
while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be
even more fruitful.
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, and I
will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain
in the vine. Neither
can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
"I am the vine; you
are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear
much fruit; apart from
me you can do nothing.
- John 15:1-5 - NIV
