John 15:16-21
161You did not chooseG1586 Me but I choseG1586 you, and appointedG5087 you that you would goG5217 and 2bearG5342 fruitG2590, and that your fruitG2590 would remainG3306, soG2443 that 3whateverG3739G5100G302 you askG154 of the FatherG3962 in My nameG3686 He may giveG1325 to you. 17ThisG3778 4I commandG1781 you, that you loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240.
18“5IfG1487 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you, 6you knowG1097 that it has hatedG3404 Me beforeG4413 it hated you. 19IfG1487 you were of the worldG2889, the worldG2889 would loveG5368 its ownG2398; but becauseG3754 you are not of the worldG2889, but 7I choseG1586 you out of the worldG2889, 8becauseG3754 of thisG1223G3778 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 20RememberG3421 the wordG3056 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘9A slaveG1401 is not greaterG3173 than his masterG2962.’ IfG1487 they persecutedG1377 Me, 10they will alsoG2532 persecuteG1377 you; ifG1487 they 11keptG5083 My wordG3056, they will keepG5083 yoursG5212 alsoG2532. 21But allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 they will doG4160 to you 12for My name’sG3686 sakeG1223, 13becauseG3754 they do not knowG3609 the One who sentG3992 Me.
