John 17:16-21 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. "They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it.

17. Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth.

18. You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world.

19. I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy in a true sense.

20. "I do not pray only for them. I pray also for those who will believe in me because of their message.

21. Father, I pray that all of them will be one, just as you are in me and I am in you. I want them also to be in us. Then the world will believe that you have sent me.
