John 15:16-19 You chose me not, but I chose you, and set you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit abide: that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he gives you.

ECB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ You chose me not, but I chose you, and set you to go and bear fruit, and that your fruit abide: that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he gives you. ¹⁷ These I misvah you: to love one another. ¹⁸ If the cosmos hates you, you know it hated me first. ¹⁹ If you are of the cosmos, the cosmos ever befriends his own: but because you are not of the cosmos, but I chose you from the cosmos, because of this the cosmos hates you.
