* If the world hates you , you know that it has hated me before it hated you . * If you were of the world , the world would love its own . But because you are not of the world , since I chose you out of the world , therefore the world hates you . * Remember the word that I said to you : 'A servant is not greater than his lord .' {John strkjv @13:16 } If they persecuted me , they will also persecute you . If they kept my word , they will keep yours also . * But all these things will they do to you for my name 's sake , because they don 't know him who sent me . * If I had not come and spoken to them , they would not have had sin ; but now they have no excuse for their sin . * He who hates me , hates my Father also . * If I hadn 't done among them the works which no one else did , they wouldn 't have had sin . But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father . * But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law , 'They hated me without a cause .' {Psalms strkjv @35:19 ; strkjv @69:4 } * "When the Counselor {Greek Parakletos : Counselor , Helper , Advocate , Intercessor , and Comforter .} has come , whom I will send to you from the Father , the Spirit of truth , who proceeds from the Father , he will testify about me . * You will also testify , because you have been with me from the beginning .
