English Standard Version
John 15:20-16:1
English Standard Version
20 Remember the word that I said to you: (A)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, (B)they will also persecute you. (C)If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But (D)all these things they will do to you (E)on account of my name, (F)because they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, (G)they would not have been guilty of sin,[a] but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (H)Whoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 (I)If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, (J)they would not be guilty of sin, but now they have (K)seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But (L)the word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: (M)‘They hated me without a cause.’
26 “But (N)when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, (O)he will bear witness about me. 27 And (P)you also will bear witness, (Q)because you have been with me (R)from the beginning.
16 “I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.
