JOHN 17:15-21

¹⁵I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil one.

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

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

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

¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

²⁰Neither for these only do I pray, but for them also that believe on me through their word;

²¹that they may all be one; even 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.
