John 15:19; John 17:14; James 4:4; 1 John 4:5

19 eIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because fyou are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.


14 cI have given them your word, and dthe world has hated them ebecause they are not of the world, fjust as I am not of the world.


aYou adulterous people!1 Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? bTherefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.


eThey are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and fthe world listens to them.
