John 17:9-19

9 I am praying for them. ^aI am not praying for the world but for those ^bwhom you have given me, for ^cthey are yours. 10 ^dAll mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ^eI am glorified in them. 11 And I am no longer in the world, but ^fthey are in the world, and ^gI am coming to you. ^hHoly Father, ⁱkeep them in your name, ^jwhich you have given me, ^kthat they may be one, ^leven as we are one. 12 ^mWhile I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ⁿguarded them, and ^onot one of them has been lost except ^pthe son of destruction, ^qthat the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now ^rI am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ^smy joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 ^tI have given them your word, and ^uthe world has hated them ^vbecause they are not of the world, ^wjust as I am not of the world. 15 I ^xdo not ask that you ^ytake them out of the world, but that you ^zkeep them from ^aathe evil one. ^{▼▼Or from evil} 16 ^acThey are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 ^adSanctify them ^{▼▼Greek Set them apart (for holy service to God)} in the truth; ^afyour word is truth. 18 ^agAs you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And ^ahfor their sake ^aiI consecrate myself, ^{▼▼Or I sanctify myself; or I set myself apart (for holy service to God)} that they also ^akmay be sanctified ^{▼▼Greek may be set apart (for holy service to God)} in truth.
