JOY John 17:13-16

"I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it."

I am coming to you now 
John 17:11  "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one."

so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them 
John 15:11  "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."

I have given them your word and the world has hated them 
John 15:19  "If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."

for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world 
John 17:16  "They are not of the world, even as I am not of it."
John 8:23  But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world."
John 1:12  Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--...

protect them from the evil one 
Matthew 5:37  "All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one."
Matthew 6:13  "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
1 John 5:19  We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

They are not of the world, even as I am not of it
