In context
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. 19And for their sake I make myself holy, so that they too may be made holy in truth.
