18“If the world hates you, know that it hated me first.
19
If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. However, I have chosen you out of the world, and you don't belong to the world. This is why the world hates you.
20
Remember what I told you, ‘Servants aren't greater than their master.' If the world harassed me, it will harass you too. If it kept my word, it will also keep yours.
21
The world will do all these things to you on account of my name, because it doesn't know the one who sent me.
22
“If I hadn't come and spoken to the people of this world, they wouldn't be sinners. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
