15:6 Anyone who does not remain in Christ is separated from the vine and its life. A living branch produces clusters of grapes (15:5). Connection with the vine allows the life of Jesus to flow fruitfully through the disciple. Those who claim to be attached to Christ but yield no fruit are useless and will be burned.
Remaining in Christ
The Greek term menō, often translated “remain,” “stay,” or “abide,” occurs frequently in relation to Jesus’ descriptions of profound, intimate, and enduring relationships. For example, Jesus said, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to [menō en, ‘stay in’] my teachings” (John 8:31). The idea is that a disciple’s life is fully formed by Jesus’ word. Jesus also described how the Son is in the Father and the Father is in the Son (John 14:10-11). Likewise, when we remain in Christ, the Son is in us and we are in the Father and the Son (17:21-23). Both the Father and the Son come and make their home within disciples.
This mutual indwelling is precisely what it means that the disciple remains in Christ. We cannot gain the permanence of our relationship by our own effort; this relationship is only made permanent by the gracious initiative of God indwelling our lives through his Spirit. This means commitment on the part of both God and the disciple. The mutual indwelling between God and the believer is not a fleeting or temporary commitment, but an enduring, permanent, and eternal relationship (see 1 Jn 2:14, 17).

ἐὰν μή τις μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί, ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη, καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν, καὶ καίεται
if not anyone /may_be/_remaining in me ˱he˲_/was/_cast out as the branch and /was/_withered and ˱they˲_/are/_gathering_together them and into the fire ˱they˲_/are/_casting and ˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
In the middle of this verse, Jesus changes from referring to the branch in a singular form to a plural form. If this change would be confusing in your language, you could change the singular forms into plural forms. Alternate translation: “If people do not remain in me, they are thrown outside like branches and are dried up, and they gather them into the fire, and they are burned up”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μένῃ ἐν ἐμοί
/may_be/_remaining in me
See how you translated remain in me in the previous two verses.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐβλήθη ἔξω ὡς τὸ κλῆμα καὶ ἐξηράνθη
˱he˲_/was/_cast out as the branch and /was/_withered
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the farmer throws him outside like a branch, and he dries up”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τὸ κλῆμα
the branch
Jesus uses branch to refer to someone who claims to be Jesus’ disciple, but is not. See how you translated the similar use of branch in 15:2.
Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns
καὶ συνάγουσιν αὐτὰ καὶ εἰς τὸ πῦρ βάλλουσιν, καὶ καίεται
and and ˱they˲_/are/_gathering_together them and into the fire ˱they˲_/are/_casting and ˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
The first they in this verse refers to an indefinite subject, but the second they refers to the object. If this would be confusing in your language, you could translate them differently. Alternate translation: “and some helpers gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned up” or “and someone gathers them and throws them into the fire, and those branches are burned up”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καίεται
˱it˲_/is_being/_burned
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “the fire burns them up”
