John 17:13-18

13But now I am coming to you, and I am saying these things in the world, so they may experience my joy completed in themselves.

14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but that you keep them safe from the evil one.

16They do not belong to the world just as I do not belong to the world.

17Set them apart in the truth; your word is truth.

18Just as you sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world.
