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.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 15 of John. The true vine presents the relationship between Jesus and his disciples through abiding, fruitfulness, and pruning. Fruit does not come from spiritual autonomy, but from remaining united to Jesus and keeping his word.

Bleibet in mir und ich in euch. Gleichwie die Rebe kann keine Frucht bringen von ihr selber, sie bleibe denn am Weinstock, also auch ihr nicht, ihr bleibet denn in mir.
Estad en mí, y yo en vosotros. Como el pámpano no puede llevar fruto de sí mismo, si no estuviere en la vid; así ni vosotros, si no estuviereis en mí.
Demeurez en moi, et je demeurerai en vous. Comme le sarment ne peut de lui-même porter du fruit, s'il ne demeure attaché au cep, ainsi vous ne le pouvez non plus, si vous ne demeurez en moi.
Dimorate in me, ed io dimorerò in voi; siccome il tralcio non può portar frutto da sè stesso, se non dimora nella vite, così nè anche voi, se non dimorate in me.
Estai em mim, e eu em vós; como a vara de si mesma não pode dar fruto, se não estiver na videira, assim também vós, se não estiverdes em mim.
你們要常在我裏面,我也常在你們裏面。枝子若不常在葡萄樹上,自己就不能結果子;你們若不常在我裏面,也是這樣。
