John 15:19–27

¹⁹If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.↗

²⁰Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his lord.’If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.↗

²¹But they will do all these things to you for my name’s sake, because they don’t know him who sent me.↗

²²If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.↗

²³He who hates me, hates my Father also.↗

²⁴If I hadn’t done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn’t have had sin. But now they have seen and also hated both me and my Father.↗

²⁵But this happened so that the word may be fulfilled which was written in their law, ‘They hated me without a cause.’↗

²⁶“When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will testify about me.↗

²⁷You will also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning.↗
