John 17:15 BBE

¹³  And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

¹⁴  I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁵  My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One.

¹⁶  They are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

¹⁷  Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word.
