John 15:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ This is what I command you: Love one another.

Persecutions Predicted

¹⁸ “If the world hates^(A) you, understand that it hated Me before it hated you. ¹⁹ If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own. However, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen^(B) you out of it, the world hates you.
