They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.] These words are repeated from (<431714>John 17:14), where they are given as a reason of the world’s hatred to them; and here, as showing that they are exposed to the evil of it; and in both are used as an argument with his Father, that he would take notice of them, and preserve them.
