Bible: John 15:18-21; 16:33
The World’s Hatred
15:18 “If the world hates you, be aware 1 that it hated me first. 2 15:19 If you belonged to the world, 3 the world would love you as its own. 4 However, because you do not belong to the world, 5 but I chose you out of the world, for this reason 6 the world hates you. 7 15:20 Remember what 8 I told you, ‘A slave 9 is not greater than his master.’ 10 If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed 11 my word, they will obey 12 yours too. 15:21 But they will do all these things to you on account of 13 my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. 14
