The branches must stay in the vine

15 Jesus said, ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.^{[a] 2} Some branches that are part of me may have no fruit on them. My Father completely removes all those branches. But other branches do have fruit. My Father cuts all those branches to make them better. Then they will be good and make more fruit. ³ The words that I have spoken to you have made you good already.
