From John ch 16- John ch 17
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love.
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.
But the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ‘They hated me without a cause.’
“A little while, and you will see me no longer; and again a little while, and you will see me.”
Truly, truly, I say to you, you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy.
So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.
Now we know that you know all things and do not need anyone to question you; this is why we believe that you came from God.”
Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone. Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
