John 17:15-21

¹⁵I do not pray thee to take them out of the world, but to keep them from evil.

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

¹⁷Sanctify them in thy truth; thy word is truth.

¹⁸As thou didst send me into the world, I also sent them into the world.

¹⁹And in their behalf I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in the truth.

²⁰Yet not for these alone do I pray, but also for those who believe in me through their word;

²¹that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me and I in thee, that they also may be in us, that the world may believe that thou didst send me.
