| My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: and he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, … and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. – Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? |
| The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, … envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: … But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. |
| I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 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. … Abide in me, and I in you. … Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. |
