Isaiah 18:5 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 5 For before the harvest, when the blossom comes to perfection and the bloom becomes a ripening grape, one must also cut off the sprigs with pruning shears and must remove the tendrils, must lop [them] off.+ John 15:2 New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures—With References 2 Every branch in me not bearing fruit he takes away,+ and every one bearing fruit he cleans,*+ that it may bear more fruit.+
