John 17:22

Jesus Prays For The Unity Of Believers

²¹ [I pray] that all of them may be one, just as you, Father, are [one] in [fellowship with] me, and I [am one] in [fellowship with] you, so that they also may be [one] in [fellowship with] us in order that the world may [see it and] believe that you sent me. ²² And I have given them [i.e., all believers] the honor which you gave me, so that they may be one, just as we are one: ²³ I in them, and you in me, so that they may be completely one. [This is] so the world will know that you sent me and that you love them just as you love me.

In Me

That They May Be One
