SANCTIFIED THROUGH THY TRUTH




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.  And the glory which thou
gavest me I have given them; that they may be
one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in
me, that they may be made perfect in one; and
that the world may know that thou hast sent me,
and hast loved them,as thou hast loved me.
Father,  I will that they also, whom thou hast
given me, be with me where I am; that they
may behold  my glory, which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me before the foundation
of the world.  O righteous Father, the world
hath not known thee: but I have known thee,
and these have known that thou hast sent me.
 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it: that the love wherewith
thou has loved me may be in them,
and I in them.

John 17: 17-26
