约翰福音 15:5

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 15:5

5. Without me ye can do nothing Gracious ability precedes all acceptable action. It is the sap without which no branch can bring forth fruit. Man, without the grace of God, through Christ, empowering him, can no more bring forth action pleasing to God than the dry and withered branch can put forth the rich and ruddy cluster. read more
