But he that is sown into good land, is this that heareth the word, and understandeth, and bringeth forth fruit. And some maketh an hundred-fold, truly another sixtyfold and another thirtyfold.
And other felled down into good land, and gave fruit, springing up, and waxing; and one brought thirty-fold, and one sixtyfold, and one an hundredfold.
Ye have not chosen me, but I chose you; and I have put you, that ye go, and bring forth fruit, and your fruit dwell; that whatever thing ye ask the Father in my name, he give to you.
Each branch in me that beareth not fruit, he shall take away it [or do it away]; and each that beareth fruit, he shall purge it, that it bear the more fruit.
And so, my brethren, ye be made dead to the law by [or through] the body of Christ, that ye be of another, that rose again from death, that ye bear fruit to God.
Therefore, brethren, from hence-forward we pray you, and beseech in the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us, how it behooveth you to go and to please God, so walk ye, that ye abound more.
For if these be with you, and overcome, [or be plenteous], they shall not make you void, neither without fruit, in the knowing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
