Third Millennium Bible TMB
New International Version NIV
18 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated Me before it hated you.
18
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
19
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you: `The servant is not greater than his lord.' If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept My saying, they will keep yours also.
20
Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for My name's sake, because they know not Him that sent Me.
21
They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin, but now they have no cloak for their sin.
22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 He that hateth Me hateth My Father also.
23
Whoever hates me hates my Father as well.
24 If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father.
24
If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law: `They hated Me without a cause.'
25
But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’
