John 17:16–17

¹⁴I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

³Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

¹⁶⁰Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

²⁶That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

²²Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

²³Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

¹⁹And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

²¹Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

³²And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

¹³But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

⁸The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

¹¹Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

⁹Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

²¹If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

¹⁰⁴Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

¹⁵¹Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

¹⁵²Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

⁶The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

²⁸And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

¹⁸But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

¹¹Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

¹⁵But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

⁹And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

⁴⁰But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

¹⁴⁴The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.

²⁵In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

²⁶And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
