Jesus replied: If you were blind you would have no sin. But you say we see so your sin remains.

you know his will. You approve the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law.

Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.

This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

You should continue to love one another as brothers.
