If someone who isn’t a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience.

“ My prayer is not for the world, but for those you have given me, because they belong to you.

I’m not asking you to take them out of the world, but to keep them safe from the evil one.They do not belong to this world any more than I do.

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

“ I have revealed you to the ones you gave me from this world. They were always yours. You gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil— the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.

“ You are the light of the world— like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

Jesus continued,“ You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.
