John 15:17-21

This I command you, that you love one another. Disciples’ Relation to the World

“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

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, because of this the world hates you.

Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they followed My word, they will follow yours also.

But all these things they will do to you on account of My name, because they do not know the One who sent Me.
