"I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. ¹⁷Sanctify them through thy truth; thy word is truth. ¹⁸As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I sent them into the world. ¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth."
John 17:15-19
