John 15:5

I am the vine, ye be the branches. Who that dwelleth (or remaineth) in me [or He that dwelleth in me], and I in him, this beareth much fruit, for without me ye may nothing do (or for ye can do nothing without me).

Wycliffe Modern Spelling

In The King James Version

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

In Context

4Dwell 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.)

6If any man dwelleth not in me, he shall be cast out as a branch, and shall wax dry; and they shall gather him (up), and they shall cast him into the fire, and he shall burn. (If anyone remaineth not in me, he shall be thrown out like a branch, and shall grow dry; and they shall gather him up, and they shall throw him into the fire, and he shall be burned up.)

Christ the True Vine. 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you.
