Exegesis
Tereses {τηρήσῃς | te-rē-sēs} expresses guarding and watchful keeping, and the final ek with tou ponerou {τοῦ πονηροῦ | tou po-nē-rou} highlights a personal adversary, which is rendered as “the evil one” in both reconstructions.
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.
