| 4. Formal Translation Remain in Me {Iesous, Life-Giving Vine}, and I remain within you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it stays in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. |
| 4. Dynamic Translation Stay joined to Me {Iesous, Indwelling Lord}, and I stay within you. In the same way, a branch cannot produce fruit by itself unless it is attached to the vine, so neither can you unless you stay in Me. |
