John 15:18-20

Disciples' Relation to the World

18 "1If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.
19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but 2I chose you out of the world, 3because of this * the world hates you.
20 "Remember the word that I said to you, '4A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, 5they will also persecute you; if they 6kept My word, they will keep yours also.
