John 17:15

15 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.

John 17:15 In-Context

13 And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these [things] in the world so that they may have my joy completed 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 protect 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.
