“‘Take away therefore the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has much, more shall be given, and he shall have abundance; but from him who does not have, even that which he has shall be taken away.’” (Mt 25)

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit, he takes it away. And every branch that bears fruit, he cleanses it, that it may bear more fruit.” (Jn 15)
