14 I have given them Your word; (A)and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, (B)just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but (C)that You should keep them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17 (D)Sanctify[a] them by Your truth. (E)Your word is truth. 18 (F)As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And (G)for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
