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

¹⁷ These things I command you, that you love one another.

The World’s Hatred

^18 (A)“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. ^19 (B)If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet ^(C)because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

^23 (A)He who hates Me hates My Father also.

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

⁸ I ^[a]dismissed the three shepherds ^(A)in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
