John 15:2

John 15:2

The True Vine

1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.

2 ^aEvery branch in Me that does not bear fruit He¹ takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear ^bmore fruit.

3 ^aYou are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

4 ^aAbide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much ^afruit; for without Me you can do ^bnothing.

<< John 15:1

John 15:3 >>

John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth no fruit he taketh away. As the husbandman cuts off the unfruitful branches of the vine, so the Father severs the unfruitful branches from his Son. Judas, an unfruitful branch which did not have the life of the Vine, had just been severed and had gone forth. Every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it. The husbandman prunes and dresses the branches in order that they may be more healthy and fruitful. The Father cleanses, purifies, frees from sin, all who become branches of the True Vine.
