Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 17
⁷ Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;
⁸ for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
⁹ I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;
¹⁰ and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
¹¹ I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
¹² While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
¹³ But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
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.
