Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

I revealed your name to the people whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me. They have kept your word.

I pray for them. I don’t pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.
