John 15:18

The World's Hatred For The Disciples

¹⁷ This I command you, that you love one another. ¹⁸ “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ 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, because of this the world hates you.
