But the world has hated them because they don't belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. (15) I'm not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one. (16) They don't belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. (17) "Use the truth to make them holy. Your words are truth. (18) I have sent them into the world the same way you sent me into the world. (19) I'm dedicating myself to this holy work I'm doing for them so that they, too, will use the truth to be holy. (20) "I'm not praying only for them. I'm also praying for those who will believe in me through their message. (21) I pray that all of these people continue to have unity in the way that you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray that they may be united with us so that the world will believe that you have sent me.
John 17:25-26 GW Righteous Father, the world didn't know you. Yet, I knew you, and these disciples have known that you sent me. (26) I have made your name known to them, and I will make it known so that the love you have for me will be in them and I will be in them."
John 17:13-21 BBE And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them. (14) I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. (15) My prayer is not that you will take them out of the world, but that you will keep them from the Evil One. (16) They are not of the world any more than I am of the world. (17) Make them holy by the true word: your word is the true word. (18) Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. (19) And for them I make myself holy, so that they may be made truly holy. (20) My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word; (21) May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

John 17:13-21 ESV But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. (14) I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. (15) I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. (16) They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. (17) Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. (18) As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. (19) And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. (20) "I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, (21) that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
