rsv John:15:19-25 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
But all this they will do to you on my account ,
because they do not know him who sent me .
*
If I had not come and spoken to them ,
they would not have sin ;
but now they have no excuse for their sin .
*
He who hates me hates my Father also .
*
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 .
*
It is to fulfil the word that is written in their law , `
They hated me without a cause .'
