While I was with them in the world I kept them in your name. I have
kept those that you gave me. None of them is lost, except the son of
perdition so that the scripture would be fulfilled. Now I come to you
and speak these things in the world so they will have my joy fulfilled
in themselves.
I have given them your word. The world has hated them because they are
not of the world as I am not of the world. I do not pray that you take
them out of the world, but that you keep them from evil. They are not
of the world as I am not of the world. Perfect them through your truth.
Your word is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I have also
sent them into the world. And, for their sakes, I sanctify myself that
they also might be perfected through the truth.
Neither do I pray for these alone. But I pray also for those who will
believe in me through their word so that they all may be one, as you,
Father, are in me, and I in you. They also may be one in us, so that
the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you
gave me, I have given them, so they may be made perfect in one, as we
are one, and so the world may know that you have sent me, and love them
as you love me.
Father, I wish those you gave me may also be with me where I am. May
they behold my glory, which you have given me because you loved me
before the world began.
