But now I am coming to thee; and I am speaking these things in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. And for them I devote myself, that they also might be sanctified by the truth. And not for them do I make request only, but also for those who shall believe in me through their word; that all may be one; as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee, that these also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And I have given them the glory, which thou hast given me; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.
