John 17:25

Truth and honesty

23 I in them and You in Me—that they may be perfectly united, so that the world may know that You sent Me and have loved them just as You have loved Me.

24 Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me where I am, that they may see the glory You gave Me because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, although the world has not known You, I know You, and they know that You sent Me.

26 And I have made Your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love You have for Me may be in them, and I in them.”
