"THY WORD IS TRUTH"

"And now I am no more in the world,but these are in the world,and I come to thee.Holy Father,keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me,that they may be one,as we are.
While I was with them in the world,I kept them in thy name:those that thou gavest me I have kept,and none of them is lost,but the son of perdition;that the scripture might be fulfilled. And now come I to thee;and these things I speak in the world,that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
I have given them thy word;and the world hath hated them,because they are not of the world,even as I am not of the world.
I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world,but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
They are not of the world,even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them through thy truth:thy word is truth.
As thou hast sent me into the world,even so have I also sent them into the world.
And for their sakes I sanctify myself,that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
Neither pray I for these alone,but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one;as thou,Father,art in me,and I in thee,that they also may be one in us:that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."

John 17:11-21
