John 15:18-25

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you.

¹⁹ “If you were of the world, the world would love his own. But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

²⁰ “Remember the word that I said to you, ‘the servant is not greater than his master’. If they have persecuted Me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept My word, they will also keep yours.

²¹ “But all these things they will do to you for My Name’s sake, because they have not known Him who sent Me.

²² “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin. But now they have no cloak for their sin.

²³ “Whoever hates Me, hates My Father also.

²⁴ “If I had not done works among those whom no other did, they would not have sin. Now, however, they have both seen and hated both My Father and Me.

²⁵ But this is so the word which is written in their Law might be fulfilled, ‘They hated Me without a cause’.
