And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot)...

Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Remain in me, and I in you.
