17. These things I command you, that you love one another.
18. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you.
19. If you were of the world, the world would love its 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 unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not have sin: but now they have no cover for their sin.
23. He that hates me hates my Father also.
24. If I had not done among them the works which no other man did, they would not have sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25. But this comes to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27. And you also shall bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
