John 17:12-17 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name: those that you gave me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

13. And now come I to you; and these things I speak in the world, that they might 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, even as I am not of the world.

15. I pray not that you should take them out of the world, but that you should keep them from the evil.

16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

17. Sanctify them through your truth: your word is truth.
