John 15:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 You did not choose me, but I chose you. I chose you to go and to make plenty of fruit. That kind of fruit will continue always. For that reason, the Father will help you with anything that you ask him. If you ask him in my name, he will do it for you.[a] 17 This is what I tell you to do: You must love each other.’
People will hate the disciples
18 ‘The people who belong to this world may hate you. But remember this: They hated me before they hated you.
