John 17:13-18 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

13. But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full 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 do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.

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

17. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.

18. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
