12. When I was with them, I watched over them in your name, the name you gave to me, and I kept them safe. None of them were lost, except the one who was destined for destruction, so that scripture would be fulfilled.
13. Now I’m coming to you and I say these things while I’m in the world so that they can share completely in my joy.
14. I gave your word to them and the world hated them, because they don’t belong to this world, just as I don’t belong to this world.
15. I’m not asking that you take them out of this world but that you keep them safe from the evil one.
