John 17 : 14 - 26
Chapter 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.
|
| 25 | O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me.
|
| 26 | And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
|
And Glory be to God forever.
