KJV ORIGINAL
If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If someone doesn't stay connected to me, they're like a branch that gets cut off from the tree — it just dries up and dies. People gather up those dead branches and throw them in the fire where they burn up.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Stay plugged into Jesus or you'll end up spiritually dried out and discarded.
