OET (OET-LV) I am the vine, you_all are the branches.
The one remaining in me and_I in him, this one is_bearing much fruit, because apart_from me, you_all_are_ not _being_able to_be_doing nothing.
OET (OET-RV) “I am the vine and you all are the branches. Anyone who stays in me will produce a lot of fruit—apart from me you can’t do anything.

ὁ μένων ἐν ἐμοὶ κἀγὼ ἐν αὐτῷ
the_‹one› remaining in me and_I in him
See how you translated this similar expression in the previous verse.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὗτος φέρει καρπὸν πολύν

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ποιεῖν οὐδέν
/to_be/_doing nothing
Here Jesus uses do nothing to refer to doing nothing that pleases God. It does not refer to doing nothing at all. If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [do nothing that pleases God] or [do nothing acceptable to God]
15:1-27 Jesus prepared his disciples for his departure, instructing them to remain in close fellowship with him. The image of a grapevine illustrates both intimacy and fruitfulness. To sustain genuine spiritual life in the world, believers must remain intimately connected to Christ.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
