John 15:18-24

MLV(i) 18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me first, then you. 19 If you were from the world, the world would love its own, but because you are not from the world, but I chose you out of the world, the world is hating you because of this. 20 Remember the word which I said to you, A bondservant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also be persecuting you; if they kept my word, they will also be keeping yours. 21 But they will be doing all these things to you because of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they were having no sin, but now they have no excuse concerning their sin. 23 He who hates me also hates my Father. 24 If I had not done the works which no other has done among them, then they were having no sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father.
