John 15:4

Dwell ye in me, and I in you; as a branch may not make fruit of itself, [no] but it dwell in the vine, so neither ye, [no] but ye dwell in me. (Remain in me, and I in you; for a branch cannot make fruit by itself, unless it remain on the vine, so neither can ye, unless ye remain in me.)

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
