He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of Your lips I have avoided the paths of the violent.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the only begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
I have given them Your word. And the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.
They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
No one has ascended to heaven except He who descended from heaven, even the Son of Man who is in heaven.
He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.
You adulterers and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
