rsv - John:15:18-16:4

rsv@John:15:18 @ "If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.

rsv@John:15:19 @ If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

rsv@John:15:20 @ Remember the word that I said to you, `A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.

rsv@John:15:21 @ But all this they will do to you on my account, because they do not know him who sent me.

rsv@John:15:22 @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

rsv@John:15:23 @ He who hates me hates my Father also.

rsv@John:15:24 @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

rsv@John:15:25 @ It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law, `They hated me without a cause.'

rsv@John:15:26 @ But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;

rsv@John:15:27 @ and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.

rsv@John:16:1 @ "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away.

rsv@John:16:2 @ They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.

rsv@John:16:3 @ And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.

rsv@John:16:4 @ But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
