John 15:18–27

¹⁸If the world hate you, know that it has hated me before you. ¹⁹If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on account of this the world hates you. ²⁰Remember the word which I said unto you, The bondman is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will keep also yours. ²¹But they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they have not known him that sent me. ²²If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. ²³He that hates me hates also my Father. ²⁴If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they had not had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. ²⁵But that the word written in their law might be fulfilled, They hated me without a cause.

²⁶But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes forth from with the Father, he shall bear witness concerning me; ²⁷and ye too bear witness, because ye are with me from the beginning.
