John 17:13-18

13“But now I am coming to You. I say these words while I am still in the world, so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

14I have given them Your word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

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

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

17“Make them holy in the truth. Your word is truth.

18Just as You sent Me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
