18 If the world hates you⁺, you⁺ know that it has hated Me before you⁺. 19 If you⁺ were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you⁺ are not of the world, but I chose you⁺ out of the world, on account of this, the world hates you⁺. 20 Remember the word that I said to you⁺: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you⁺; if they kept My word, they will keep yours⁺ also. 21 But they will do all these things against you⁺ on account of My name, because they do not know the One having sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 The one hating Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works that no other has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this is so that the word having been written in their Law may be fulfilled: ‘They hated Me without cause.’ John 15:18-25, Berean Literal Bible.
