^4 (A)You adulterous people!^[a] Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? ^(B)Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

^6 (A)“I have manifested your name to the people ^(B)whom you gave me out of the world. ^(C)Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. ⁷ Now they know that everything ^(D)that you have given me is from you. ⁸ For I have given them ^(E)the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that ^(F)I came from you; and ^(G)they have believed that you sent me. ⁹ I am praying for them. ^(H)I am not praying for the world but for those ^(I)whom you have given me, for ^(J)they are yours. ^10 (K)All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and ^(L)I am glorified in them. ¹¹ And I am no longer in the world, but ^(M)they are in the world, and ^(N)I am coming to you. ^(O)Holy Father, ^(P)keep them in your name, ^(Q)which you have given me, ^(R)that they may be one, ^(S)even as we are one. ^12 (T)While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have ^(U)guarded them, and ^(V)not one of them has been lost except ^(W)the son of destruction, ^(X)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. ¹³ But now ^(Y)I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have ^(Z)my joy fulfilled in themselves. ^14 (AA)I have given them your word, and ^(AB)the world has hated them ^(AC)because they are not of the world, ^(AD)just as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I ^(AE)do not ask that you ^(AF)take them out of the world, but that you ^(AG)keep them from ^(AH)the evil one.^{[a] 16 (AI)}They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. ^17 (AJ)Sanctify them^[b] in the truth; ^(AK)your word is truth. ^18 (AL)As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. ¹⁹ And ^(AM)for their sake ^(AN)I consecrate myself,^[c] that they also ^(AO)may be sanctified^[d] in truth.
