And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”

And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.””
