New TestamentJohnThe Hatred of the World · 15:18–2715:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.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.15:20 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.15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.15:23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.15:24 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.15:25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.15:26 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:15:27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
