John 15:22-27

22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23The one who hates Me also hates My Father.

24If I had not done among them the works (attesting miracles) which no one else [ever] did, they would not have [the guilt of their] sin; but now [the fact is that] they have both seen [these works] and have hated Me [and continue to hate Me] and My Father as well.

25But [this is so] that the word which has been written in their Law would be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’

26“But when the Helper (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father, He will testify and bear witness about Me.

27But you will testify also and be My witnesses, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
