John 17:9-17

9I demand concerning them; I do not demand concerning the world, but concerning those whom thou hast given me, for they are thine,

10(and all that is mine is thine, and [all] that is thine mine,) and I am glorified in them.

11And I am no longer in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we.

12When I was with them I kept them in thy name; those thou hast given me I have guarded, and not one of them has perished, but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13And now I come to thee. And these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in them.

14I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

15I do not demand that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them out of evil.

16They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

17Sanctify them by the truth: thy word is truth.
