John 15:18-27
The Hatred of the World
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.
18:
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.
19:
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
20:
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.
21:
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
22:
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
23:
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
24:
25 But [this cometh to pass], that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
25:
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
26:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
27:
