요한복음 15장 5-7절

나는 포도나무요, 너희는 가지이다. 사람이 내 안에 머물러 있고, 내가 그 안에 머물러 있으면, 그는 많은 열매를 맺는다. 너희는 나를 떠나서는 아무것도 할 수 없다. 사람이 내 안에 머물러 있지 아니하면, 그는 쓸모 없는 가지처럼 버림을 받아서 말라 버린다. 사람들이 그것을 모아다가, 불에 던져서 태워 버린다. 너희가 내 안에 머물러 있고, 내 말이 너희 안에 머물러 있으면, 너희가 무엇을 구하든지 다 그대로 이루어질 것이다._새번역성경

わたしはぶどうの 木， あなたがたはその 枝である． もし 人がわたしにつながっており， またわたしがその 人とつながっておれば， その 人は 実を 豊かに 結ぶようになる． わたしから 離れては， あなたがたは 何一つできないからである．人がわたしにつながっていないならば， 枝のように 外に 投げすてられて 枯れる． 人々はそれをかき 集め， 火に 投げ 入れて， 焼いてしまうのである．あなたがたがわたしにつながっており， わたしの 言葉があなたがたにとどまっているならば， なんでも 望むものを 求めるがよい． そうすれば， 与えられるであろう．_口語訳

"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.  "If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned. "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. _NASB

“I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire. But if you make yourselves at home with me and my words are at home in you, you can be sure that whatever you ask will be listened to and acted upon. _The Message
