John 15:18-27

18IfG1487 theG3588 worldG2889 hatesG3404 youG4771, understandG1097 thatG3754 it hatedG3404 MeG1473 first. 19IfG1487 you wereG1510 ofG1537 theG3588 worldG2889, it would loveG302G5368 you as itsG3588 ownG2398. InsteadG1161, theG3588 worldG2889 hatesG3404 youG4771, becauseG3754G1223 you areG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 theG3588 worldG2889, butG235 IG1473 have chosenG1586 youG4771 out ofG1537 theG3588 worldG2889.

20RememberG3421 theG3588 wordG3056 thatG3739 IG1473 spokeG2036 to youG4771: ‘NoG3756 servantG1401 isG1510 greater thanG3173 hisG846 masterG2962.’1 IfG1487 they persecutedG1377 MeG1473, they will persecuteG1377 youG4771 as wellG2532; ifG1487 they keptG5083 MyG1473 wordG3056, they will keepG5083 yoursG5212 as wellG2532. 21ButG235 they will treatG4160G3956 youG4771 like thisG3778 because ofG1223 MyG1473 nameG3686, sinceG3754 they do not knowG3756G1492 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473. 22IfG1487 I had not comeG3361G2064 andG2532 spokenG2980 to themG846, they would not be guilty of sinG3756G2192G266. NowG3568, howeverG1161, they haveG2192 noG3756 excuseG4392 forG4012 theirG846 sinG266.

23WhoeverG3588 hatesG3404 MeG1473 hatesG3404 MyG1473 FatherG3962 as wellG2532. 24IfG1487 I had not doneG3361G4160 amongG1722 themG846 theG3588 worksG2041 thatG3739 no oneG3762 elseG243 didG4160, they would not be guilty of sinG3756G2192G266; butG1161 nowG3568 they have seenG3708 andG2532 hatedG3404 bothG2532 MeG1473 andG2532 MyG1473 FatherG3962. 25ButG235 this is toG2443 fulfillG4137 what is writtenG1125 inG1722 theirG846 LawG3551: ‘They hatedG3404 MeG1473 without reasonG1432.’2

26WhenG3752 theG3588 AdvocateG38753 comesG2064, whomG3739 IG1473 will sendG3992 to youG4771 fromG3844 theG3588 FatherG3962—theG3588 SpiritG4151 of truthG225 whoG3739 proceedsG1607 fromG3844 theG3588 FatherG3962—HeG1565 will testifyG3140 aboutG4012 MeG1473. 27AndG1161 youG4771 alsoG2532 must testifyG3140, becauseG3754 you have beenG1510 withG3326 MeG1473 fromG575 the beginningG746.
