Exegesis
Autous {αὐτοὺς | au-tous} is repeated in both clauses, keeping the disciples as the direct object of both petitions, while ek {ἐκ | ek} marks separation from kosmou {κόσμου | kos-mou}, the sphere of the world.
In context — John 17:15
I am not asking that You remove them from the world, but that You keep them from the evil one.
