WPNT(i)
16 It wasn’t you who chose me but I who chose you, and I appointed you so that you should go and produce fruit, and that your fruit should endure, so that whatever you may ask the Father in my name He may give you.
17 These things I command you so that you love one another.
18 “When the world hates you, you can be sure that it has hated me first.
19 If you were of the world, the world would be fond of its own. So because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, that’s why the world hates you.
