St John 15:1-5 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. I AM the true vine; and my Father is the husbandman.

2. Every branch in me, that beareth not fruit, he will take away: and every one that beareth fruit, he will purge it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

3. Now you are clean by reason of the word, which I have spoken to you.

4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me.

5. I am the vine; you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
