13 "I am coming to you now. But I say these things while I am still in the world. I say them so that those you gave me can have all my joy inside them.
14 I have given them your word. The world has hated them. This is because they are not part of the world any more than I am.
15 I do not pray that you will take them out of the world. I pray that you will keep them safe from the evil one.
16 "They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it.
17 Use the truth to make them holy. Your word is truth.
18 You sent me into the world. In the same way, I have sent them into the world.
19 I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy in a true sense.
