John 15:4

Thia KJV (พระคัมภีร์ภาษาไทยฉบับ KJV)

จงเข้าสนิทอยู่ในเรา และเราเข้าสนิทอยู่ในท่าน กิ่งจะออกผลเองไม่ได้นอกจากจะติดอยู่กับเถาฉันใด ท่านทั้งหลายจะเกิดผลไม่ได้นอกจากท่านจะเข้าสนิทอยู่ในเราฉันนั้น

ข้อนี้หมายความว่าอะไร?

Jesus tells his disciples that they need to stay connected to him just like a branch stays attached to the vine to bear fruit. Without this connection, they cannot produce anything meaningful.

อธิบายสำหรับเด็ก
