John 17:12-18
New American Standard Bible
12 While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name, (A)which You have given Me; and I guarded them, and (B)not one of them perished except (C)the [a]son of destruction, so that the (D)Scripture would be fulfilled.
The Disciples in the World
13 But now (E)I am coming to You; and (F)these things I speak in the world so that they may have My (G)joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; and (H)the world has hated them because (I)they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15 I am not asking You to take them out of the world, but to keep them away from [b](J)the evil one. 16 (K)They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (L)Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. 18 Just as (M)You sent Me into the world, (N)I also sent them into the world.
