This fruit is not yours, but Christ’s in you. We are unprofitable servants, he is all in all. Do you know that the vine needs to be pruned every autumn, to bring forth ample fruit next year? God, too, cuts out all human failings, so that your stubbornness may be ended, and you die to sin.
Tena matunda hayo sio ya kwako, lakini ya Kristo ndani yako. Hivihivi sisi sote tu watumishi tusiofaa; Yeye ndiyo yote katika mambo yote. Je, unafahamu kwamba mzabibu unahitaji kukatwa kila mwaka wakati wake, ili uweze kuleta matunda safi mwakani?
