Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 17
¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
¹⁵ I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one.
¹⁶ They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
¹⁷ Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
¹⁸ As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
¹⁹ And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
²⁰ "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
²¹ that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.
²² And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:
²³ I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.
²⁴ Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
