klēma κλῆμα klēma

A VINE-SHOOT — specifically the year's growth on a vine, not a tree-limb; the general word for a branch is klados. ⚠ It occurs FOUR times in the New Testament and all four are in John 15 (vv2, 4, 5, 6). KJV, ASV and NIV all print the general 'branch'; Reina-Valera's pámpano is the precise word and keeps what English drops. → first discussed at John 15:2
