nsb@John:15:18 @ »If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
nsb@John:15:19 @ »If you were of the world, the world would love its own. I chose you out of the world. The world hates you because you are not of the world.
nsb@John:15:20 @ »Remember the word I said to you. A servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they obeyed my word, they will obey yours also.
nsb@John:15:21 @ »They will do all these things to you for my names sake. It is because they do not know the one that sent me.
nsb@John:15:22 @ »If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin!
nsb@John:15:23 @ »He who hates me hates my Father also.
nsb@John:15:24 @ »If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would have no sin. They have seen and hated both my Father and me.
nsb@John:15:25 @ »This took place that the word written in the Law may be fulfilled: They hated me without a cause.
nsb@John:15:26 @ »I will send the helper from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which proceeds from the Father to bear witness of me.
nsb@John:15:27 @ »You also bear witness because you have been with me from the beginning.«
nsb@John:16:1 @ »I have spoken these things to you that you should not be made to stumble.
nsb@John:16:2 @ »They will throw you out of the synagogues. Yes, the hour comes that whoever kills you will think that he offered service to God.
nsb@John:16:3 @ »But they do these things because they do not know the Father or me.
nsb@John:16:4 @ »I tell you these things so you will remember that I told you when the time comes. I did not tell this from the beginning because I was with you.
