John 15:2

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Every {G3956} branch {G2814} in {G1722} me {G1698} that {G846} beareth {G5342} not {G3361} fruit {G2590} he taketh away {G142}: and {G2532} every {G3956} branch that beareth {G5342} fruit {G2590}, he purgeth {G2508} it {G846}, that {G2443} it may bring forth {G5342} more {G4119} fruit {G2590}.

Every branch which is part of me but fails to bear fruit, he cuts off; and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes, so that it may bear more fruit.

He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, and every branch that does bear fruit, He prunes to make it even more fruitful.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit.
