John 15:18

The World's Hatred For The Disciples

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: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
