*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And now come I to thee ;
and these things I speak in the world ,
that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves .
*
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 .
*
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world ,
but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil .
*
They are not of the world ,
even as I am not of the world .
*
Sanctify them through thy truth :
thy word is truth .
*
As thou hast sent me into the world ,
even so have I also sent them into the world .
*
And for their sakes I sanctify myself ,
that they also might be sanctified through the truth .
*
Neither pray I for these alone ,
but for them also which shall believe on me through their word ;
*
That they all may be one ;
as thou ,
Father ,
art in me ,
and I in thee ,
that they also may be one in us :
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me .
