While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.

Dieweil ich bei ihnen war in der Welt, erhielt ich sie in deinem Namen. Die du mir gegeben hast, die habe ich bewahrt, und ist keiner von ihnen verloren, als das verlorene Kind, daß die Schrift erfüllet würde.
Cuando estaba con ellos en el mundo, yo los guardaba en tu nombre; a los que me diste, yo los guardé, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, sino el hijo de perdición; para que la Escritura se cumpliese.
Lorsque j'étais avec eux dans le monde, je les gardais en ton nom. J'ai gardé ceux que tu m'as donnés, et aucun d'eux ne s'est perdu, sinon le fils de perdition, afin que l'Ecriture fût accomplie.
Quand’io era con loro nel mondo, io li conservava nel nome tuo; io ho guardati coloro che tu mi hai dati, e niun di loro è perito, se non il figliuol della perdizione, acciocchè la scrittura fosse adempiuta.
Estando eu com eles no mundo, guardava-os em teu nome. Tenho guardado aqueles que tu me deste, e nenhum deles se perdeu, senão o filho da perdição, para que a Escritura se cumprisse.
我與他們同在的時候,我奉你的名,就是你所賜給我的名,保守了他們,我也護衛了他們;其中除了那滅亡之子,沒有一個滅亡的,好使經上的話得以應驗。
