Exegesis
The participial phrase mē pheron karpon {μὴ φέρον καρπὸν | mē phé-ron kar-pón} ‘not bearing fruit’ limits the first branch by its ongoing lack of fruitfulness, and the finite verb airei {αἴρει | aí-rei} ‘takes away’ states the main action with an implied subject supplied by the surrounding discourse.
The second half repeats the pattern with pan to karpon pheron {πᾶν τὸ καρπὸν φέρον | pân tó kar-pón phé-ron} ‘every fruit-bearing one,’ where the articular participial construction functions substantivally.
In context — John 15:2
Every branch in Me that is not bearing fruit, He removes it; and every fruit-bearing branch He cleanses it so that it may bear more fruit.
