14 I have given them your teaching. And the world has hated them, because they don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.
15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to keep them safe from the Evil One.
16 They don’t belong to the world, just as I don’t belong to the world.
17 Make them ready for your service through your truth; your teaching is truth.
18 I have sent them into the world, just as you sent me into the world.
19 For their sake, I am making myself ready to serve so that they can be ready for their service of the truth.
20 “I pray for these followers, but I am also praying for all those who will believe in me because of their teaching.
