John 17:15

Protection and safetySpiritual warfarePrayer

13 But now I am coming to You; and I am saying these things while I am in the world, so that they may have My joy fulfilled within them.

14 I have given them Your word and the world has hated them; for they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

I am not asking 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 by the truth; Your word is truth.
