¹³ Do not marvel, my brethren, if ^(A)the world hates you.

^7 (A)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me ^(B)because I testify of it that its works are evil.

²⁰ For ^(A)everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.

^13 (A)And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But ^(B)he who ^[a]endures to the end shall be saved.

²² And ^(A)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. ^(B)But he who endures to the end will be saved.

The Command to Love

3 Behold ^(A)what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that ^(B)we should be called children of ^[a]God! Therefore the world does not know ^[b]us, ^(C)because it did not know Him.

^11 (A)Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of ^(B)evil against you falsely for My sake.
