John 15:18–27

¹⁸If ^hthe world hate you, ye know that it hated me ⁱbefore it hated you. ^19kIf ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but ^lbecause ye are not of the world, but ^bI have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ²⁰Remember the word that I said unto you, ^mThe servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, ⁿthey will also persecute you; ^oif they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. ²¹But ^pall these things will they do unto you ^qfor my name’s sake, ^rbecause they know not him that sent me. ²²If I had not come and spoken unto them, ^sthey had not had sin: ^tbut now they have no ^ucloke for their sin. ²³He that hateth me hateth my Father also. ²⁴If I had not done among them ^xthe works which none other man did, ^sthey had not had sin: but now have they both ^yseen and ^zhated both me and my Father. ²⁵But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in ^atheir law, ^bThey hated me without a cause. ²⁶But when ^cthe Comforter is come, ^dwhom I will send unto you from the Father, even ^ethe Spirit of truth, ^dwhich proceedeth from the Father, ^fhe shall testify of me: ²⁷and ^gye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me ^hfrom the beginning.
