John 17:3-18
-
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
-
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
-
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
-
6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.
-
7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
-
8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
-
9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
-
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
-
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
-
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
-
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
-
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
-
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
-
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
-
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
