In Christ's High Priestly Prayer, He distinguishes sharply between the world and those the Father gives to Him out of the world. He is not praying for the world (17:9) which hates Christ's followers (17:14). In 17:25, Jesus says that the world does not know the Righteous Father. As Rom 1 tells us, everyone has an innate knowledge that there is a God. But they refuse to honor the only true God, nor are they thankful. They suppress the truth in unrighteousness and exchange the truth of God for a lie, worshipping something from creation to satisfy the inescapable truth that there is a God.
