約翰福音15
1我是真葡萄樹，我父是栽培的人。 
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener.
2凡屬我不結果子的枝子，他就剪去。凡結果子的，他就修理乾淨，使枝子結果子更多。
He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
3現在你們因我講給你們的道，已經乾淨了。 
You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4你們要常在我裡面，我也常在你們裡面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上，自己就不能結果子。你們若不常在我裡面，也是這樣。 
Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.
5我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子。常在我裡面的，我也常在他裡面，這人就多結果子。因為離了我，你們就不能作什麼。 
"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
6人若不常在我裡面，就像枝子丟在外面枯乾，人拾起來，扔在火里燒了。 
If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
7你們若常在我裡面，我的話也常在你們裡面，凡你們所願意的，祈求就給你們成就。 
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you.
8你們多結果子，我父就因此得榮耀，你們也就是我的門徒了。 
This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
