I'm sure you notice there are sevearl different answers in this question. There really isn't a verse that says those exact words. There are several that have that conclusion. Like many sayings or quotes we have, there are some that we hear but are merely conclusions of verses. Example, there is no verse that says "pray until something happens." But, it is a popular phrase.
John 17:15-17
My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
John 15:18-19
"If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."
Romans 12:2
"Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
1 John 2:15
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him."

John 17:14-15 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
14I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
Joh 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

"be not conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds..." (Romans 12:2).
