John 15:4

---

← John 15:3 [words of Jesus]	John 15:4 (KJV) [words of Jesus]	John 15:5 [words of Jesus] →
Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.	Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.	I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
