They wor for you, and you give them to me, and they na obey your word. 7 Now they know da all the thing dem you give me coming from you. 8 And da because I na tell them all the things you tell me, and they accept it. And they really know da I come from you, and they believe da you the one send me. 9 I praying for them. I not praying for the world, but I praying for the people who you give me because they for you. 10 And everything I get they for you, and everything you get they for me too. And I na get honor among the people you give me.

And none of them wor destroy except the person who will be destroy, so da what the scripture say can happen. 13 But now I coming to you, and I saying this thing dem the time I still in the world, so da they can really be happy the same way I happy. 14 I na tell them the thing dem you say, but the world hate them, because they not part of the world the same way I not part of the world.
