John 17:14-17

14 I gave them your word; The godless world hated them because of it, Because they didn't join the world's ways,

15 Just as I didn't join the world's ways. I'm not asking that you take them out of the world But that you guard them from the Evil One.

16 They are no more defined by the world Than I am defined by the world.

17 Make them holy - consecrated - with the truth; Your word is consecrating truth.
