NASB | John 15:2 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 15:2 "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that continues to bear fruit, He [repeatedly] prunes, so that it will bear more fruit [even richer and finer fruit]. |
Subject: John 15:2, "cut off" or "lift up"? |
Bible Note: In v2, Jesus says "every branch of mine". In v6, He says "if a man does not abide in me". There seems to be a distinction between branches that are in Christ and those that are not. To me, it seems reasonable that they would not be treated in the same way. |
