John 15:19-25

Living_Oracles(i) 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, I having selected you from the world, the world hates you. 20 Remember what I said to you, The servant is not greater than his master. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have observed my word, they will also observe yours. 21 But all this treatment they will give you on my account, because they know not him who sent me. 22 If I had not come, and spoken to them, they had not had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 He that hates me, hates my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them such works as none other ever did, they had not had sin; but now they have seen them, and yet hated both me and my Father. 25 Thus they verify that passage in their law, "They hated me without cause."
