18 ^d“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 ^eIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ^fyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you: ^g‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^hthey will also persecute you. ⁱIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But ^jall these things they will do to you ^kon account of my name, ^lbecause they do not know him who sent me.
