SEV Biblia, Chapter 17:16
No son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world .] These words are repeated from ( 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-16 - Christ does not pray that they might be rich and great in the world but that they might be kept from sin, strengthened for their duty, an brought safe to heaven. The prosperity of the soul is the bes prosperity. He pleaded with his holy Father, that he would keep them by his power and for his glory, that they might be united in affection an labours, even according to the union of the Father and the Son. He di not pray that his disciples should be removed out of the world, tha they might escape the rage of men, for they had a great work to do for the glory of God, and the benefit of mankind. But he prayed that the Father would keep them from the evil, from being corrupted by the world, the remains of sin in their hearts, and from the power and craf of Satan. So that they might pass through the world as through a enemy's country, as he had done. They are not left here to pursue the same objects as the men around them, but to glorify God, and to serv their generation. The Spirit of God in true Christians is opposed to the spirit of the world.
