ヨハネの福音書 15:6
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.

Study Note
Jesus' vine-and-branches allegory reaches its negative horizon in this verse: the branch that does not 'abide' (menō) in the vine is cast out, withers, is gathered, and burned — a sequence that mirrors the judgment parables of Matthew (13:40–42; 25:41) and applies their imagery to the experience of apostasy from the community. The passive 'is cast forth' (eblēthē exō) has divided interpreters: some read the branch as never truly incorporated; others as genuinely united but subsequently severed through sustained failure to abide. The judgment imagery of fire — without the lurid elaboration of some apocalyptic texts — functions as a serious warning embedded within the tender relational language of vine-and-branches, suggesting that love-relationship and accountability are inseparable. The verse is significant for debates about the security and perseverance of believers in Reformed and Arminian traditions.
