John 17:13-16

13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them.

14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.

John 8:23

23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 15:18-21

18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

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 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 They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.

1 John 3:13-15

13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.

15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.

Matthew 10:22

22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

Matthew 24:9

9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.

Mark 13:13

13 Everyone will hate you because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

John 16:2

2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.
