The Hatred of the World
18 (A)“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 (B)If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because (C)you 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: (D)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, (E)they will also persecute you. (F)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But (G)all these things they will do to you (H)on account of my name, (I)because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, (J)they would not have been guilty of sin,[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (K)Whoever hates me hates my Father also.

Psalm 37:30-40
English Standard Version
30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
and his tongue speaks justice.
31 (A)The law of his God is in his heart;
his (B)steps do not slip.
32 The wicked (C)watches for the righteous
and seeks to put him to death.
33 The Lord will not (D)abandon him to his power
or let him (E)be condemned when he is brought to trial.
34 (F)Wait for the Lord and keep his way,
and he will exalt you to inherit the land;
you will look on (G)when the wicked are cut off.
35 (H)I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,
spreading himself like (I)a green laurel tree.[a]
36 But he passed away,[b] and behold, (J)he was no more;
though I sought him, he could not be found.
37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,
for there is a future for the man of (K)peace.
38 But (L)transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;
the future of the wicked (M)shall be cut off.
39 (N)The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;
he is their stronghold in (O)the time of trouble.
40 The Lord helps them and (P)delivers them;
(Q)he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they (R)take refuge in him.
