Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

John 17
⁸ For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.
⁹ I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours.
¹⁰ And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.
¹¹ Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
¹² While I was with them in the world, and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
¹³ But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.
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.
