He removes every branch
that does not bear fruit,
and every branch that does
he prunes to make it bear even more.

as I abide in you.
Just as a branch cannot bear fruit by itself
unless it abides in the vine,
so you cannot bear fruit
unless you abide in me.

Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
