The Hatred of the World

18 “If the world ⁿhates you, know that it has ^ohated me before it hated you. 19 If you were ^pof the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are ^qnot 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: ^r‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they ^spersecuted me, ^tthey will also persecute you. If they ^ukept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But ^vall these things they will do to you ^won account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me.

22 “Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man!
