17 These things I command you, that you love one another.
The World’s Hatred
19 aIf you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet bbecause you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
20 Remember the word that I said to you, a‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. bIf they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
21 But aall these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.
22 aIf I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, bbut now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 aHe who hates Me hates My Father also.
