John 15:18

The World's Hatred For The Disciples

¹⁷ These things I command you, that you may 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. I chose you out of the world. The world hates you because you are not of the world.
