John 17:14-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ I have given them your word,
and the world has hated them
because they do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
¹⁵ I am not asking you
to take them out of the world,
but I do ask you
to protect them from the evil one.
¹⁶ They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
¹⁷ “Consecrate them in the truth.
Your word is truth.
¹⁸ As you sent me into the world,
so have I sent them into the world.
