¹⁷

These things I command you, that you love one another.

¹⁸

If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

¹⁹

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because 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 servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

²¹

But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

²²

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

²³

He who hates Me hates My Father also.

²⁴

If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father.

²⁵

But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without a cause.'

²⁶

But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

²⁷

And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

¹

These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble.

²

They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service.
