John:15:18-25
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.'
