Exegesis
The causal hoti clause {ὅτι | hó-ti} explains why the fruit-bearing occurs: chōris emou {χωρὶς ἐμοῦ | khō-rís e-moû} expresses separation or exclusion from Jesus, and ou dynasthe poiein ouden {οὐ δύνασθε ποιεῖν οὐδέν | ou dý-na-sthe poi-eîn ou-dén} uses a negated ability statement with the infinitive to communicate total incapacity. The translations preserve the parallelism, the emphatic demonstrative, and the cause-effect logic, while varying the English wording to keep the imagery vivid and contemporary.
In context — John 15:5
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever stays in Me and I in him, that one brings forth plentiful fruit , because separated from Me you are not able to do anything.
