Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 17
¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁵ I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.
¹⁶ They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
¹⁷ Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
¹⁸ As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
¹⁹ For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
²⁰ "I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;
²¹ that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
²² The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;
²³ I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
