John 15:16 - You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.
John 17:14 - I have given to them Your word [the message You gave Me]; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world and do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world and do not belong to it.
John 17:15 - I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but that You keep them and protect them from the evil one.
John 17:16 - They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
