John 15:18-24
18“1IfG1487 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you, 2you 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 3I choseG1586 you out of the worldG2889, 4becauseG3754 of thisG1223G3778 the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you.
20RememberG3421 the wordG3056 that I saidG3004 to you, ‘5A slaveG1401 is not greaterG3173 than his masterG2962.’ IfG1487 they persecutedG1377 Me, 6they will alsoG2532 persecuteG1377 you; ifG1487 they 7keptG5083 My wordG3056, they will keepG5083 yoursG5212 alsoG2532.
21But allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 they will doG4160 to you 8for My name’sG3686 sakeG1223, 9becauseG3754 they do not knowG3609 the One who sentG3992 Me.
2210IfG1487 I had not comeG2064 and spokenG2980 to them, they would not haveG2192 11sinG266, but nowG3568 they haveG2192 noG3756 excuseG4392 for their sinG266.
23He who hatesG3404 Me hatesG3404 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532.
2412IfG1487 I had not doneG4160 amongG1722 them 13the worksG2041 whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 elseG243 didG4160, they would not haveG2192 14sinG266; but nowG3568 they have bothG2532 seenG3708 and hatedG3404 Me and My FatherG3962 as wellG2532.
