John 15:18-20

Disciples’ Relation to the World

^{Tools
18} “^(A)If the world hates you, ^(a)you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. ^{Tools
19} If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but ^(B)I chose you out of the world, ^(C)because of this the world hates you. ^{Tools
20} Remember the word that I said to you, ‘^(D)A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, ^(E)they will also persecute you; if they ^(F)kept My word, they will keep yours also.
