ACC ~ John 15 v6

VINEDRESSER AS CULTIVATOR AND JUDGE

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA: The Father is like the vinedresser, for, if he sees some who do not love me, he cuts them off like fruitless branches and sends them off to the fire, but if he sees the opposite, he takes care of them so that they may bring forth even more fruit through the spiritual gifts he gives.
