And no longer am I in the world, yet these are in the world; and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the ones whom You have given to Me, that they may be one even as We are.
For the words which You have given to Me, I have given to them. And they received and truly knew that I came out from beside You, and they believed that You sent Me.
And according to a day continuing steadfastly with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they shared food in great joy and simplicity of heart,
And of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one. And no one said any of the possessions belonging to him to be his own, but all things were common to them.
Now I exhort you, brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that you all say the same, and there be no schisms among you, but you be restored to harmony, in the same mind and in the same judgment.
Only conduct yourself worthily of the gospel of Christ, so that whether coming and seeing you or being absent, I hear the things concerning you, that you stand fast in one spirit and one soul, striving together in the faith of the gospel,
We announce to you that which we have seen, and that which we have heard, that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ.
