John:15:15-27
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Henceforth I call you not servants ;
for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth :
but I have called you friends ;
for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you .
*
Ye have not chosen me ,
but I have chosen you ,
and ordained you ,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit ,
and that your fruit should remain :
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name ,
he may give it you .
*
These things I command you ,
that ye love one another .
*
If the world hate you ,
ye know that it hated me before it hated you .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But all these things will they do unto you for my name '
s sake ,
because they know not him that sent me .
*
If I had not come and spoken unto them ,
they had not had sin :
but now they have no cloke for their sin .
*
He that hateth me hateth my Father also .
*
If I had not done among them the works which none other man did ,
they had not had sin :
but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father .
*
But this cometh to pass ,
that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law ,
They hated me without a cause .
*
But when the Comforter is come ,
whom I will send unto you from the Father ,
even the Spirit of truth ,
which proceedeth from the Father ,
he shall testify of me :
*
And ye also shall bear witness ,
because ye have been with me from the beginning .
