1 I am HaGefen HaAmittit (the true vine)[TEHILLIM 80:8-20; YESHAYAH 5:1-7; YECHEZKEL 19:10] and HaAv of me is the Korem (vineyard proprietor).
2 Every sarig (shoot, branch) in me not bearing p'ri [TEHILLIM 92:14] He takes it away, and every sarig bearing p'ri He prunes that it may bear much p'ri.
3 You are already metoharim (clean) because of the dvar which I have spoken to you.
4 Remain in me and I in you. As the sarig is not able to bear p'ri from itself, unless it remains on the gefen (vine), so neither are you, unless you remain in me.
5 Ani Hu (I am) HaGefen; you are the sarigim (branches). The one remaining in me and I in him, this one bears much p'ri, because apart from me you are not able to do anything.
