John 17:16

In context

14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. 16They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 17Make them holy in the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world.
