John 17:13-18, New Living Translation
13 "And now I am coming to you. I have told them many things while I was with them so they would be filled with my joy.
14 I have given them your word. And the world hates them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not.
15 I'm not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.
16 They are not part of this world any more than I am.
17 Make them pure and holy by teaching them your words of truth.
18 As you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world.
