John 15:16-19 It was not you who chose me; but it was I who chose you, and placed you that you may go forth bearing fruit, and that your fruit may continue, that the Father may give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ It was not you who chose me; but it was I who chose you, and placed you that you may go forth bearing fruit, and that your fruit may continue, that the Father may give you whatever you ask of him in my name. ¹⁷ These things I command you that you may love one another. ¹⁸ If the world hate you, consider that it hated me before you. ¹⁹ If ye were of the world, the world would love its own. Now because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
