John 15:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 He cuts away every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit. But he trims clean every branch that does produce fruit, so that it will produce even more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of what I have said to you.
4 Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you. Just as a branch cannot produce fruit unless it stays joined to the vine, you cannot produce fruit unless you stay joined to me.

John 15:2-4
New International Version
2 He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit,(A) while every branch that does bear fruit(B) he prunes[a] so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.(C) 4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you.(D) No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
