For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.

And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

And I give myself as a holy sacrifice for them so they can be made holy by your truth.

I sanctify myself for them, so that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Now I’m returning to you. I’m saying these things in the world’s hearing So my people can experience My joy completed in them. I gave them your word; The godless world hated them because of it, Because they didn’t join the world’s ways, Just as I didn’t join the world’s ways. I’m not asking that you take them out of the world But that you guard them from the Evil One. They are no more defined by the world Than I am defined by the world. Make them holy—consecrated—with the truth; Your word is consecrating truth. In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world. I’m consecrating myself for their sakes So they’ll be truth-consecrated in their mission. * * *

And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, so that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.

For their sake I sanctify Myself [to do Your will], so that they also may be sanctified [set apart, dedicated, made holy] in [Your] truth.

And I set myself apart on their behalf, so that they too may be truly set apart.
