John 15:17-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ These things I command you, ^(A)so that you will love one another.

The Hatred of the World

^18 (B)“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. ^19 (C)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ^(D)you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
