John 15:22-27

22 1If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have 2sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 3If I had not done among them 4the works which no one else did, they would not have 5sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well. 25But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their 6Law, ‘7They hated Me without a cause.’

26“When the 8 9Helper comes, 10whom I will send to you from the Father, that is 11the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, 12He will testify about Me, 27 13and 14you will testify also, because you have been with Me 15from the beginning.
