I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one.a They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
– John 17:14-16
If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began.”
