John 17:14

Jesus Prays For His Disciples

¹³ Now I come to you. I spoke these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves. ¹⁴ I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁵ I do not pray that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.

Of the World

Do Not Belong To The World
