12 While I was with them [a]in the world, (A)I kept them in [b]Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and (B)none of them is [c]lost (C)except the son of [d]perdition, (D)that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13 But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. 14 I have given them Your word; (E)and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, (F)just as I am not of the world. 15 I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but (G)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 (H)Sanctify[e] them by Your truth. (I)Your word is truth. 18 (J)As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. 19 And (K)for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.
