The Hatred of the World

18 ^l“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. 19 ^mIf you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because ⁿyou are not 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: ^o‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, ^pthey will also persecute you. ^qIf they kept my word, they will also keep yours. 21 But ^rall these things they will do to you ^son account of my name, ^tbecause they do not know him who sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, ^uthey would not have been guilty of sin, ^{▼▼Greek they would not have sin; also verse 24} but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 ^wWhoever hates me hates my Father also. 24 ^xIf I had not done among them the works that no one else did, ^ythey would not be guilty of sin, but now they have ^zseen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But ^aathe word that is written in their Law must be fulfilled: ^ab‘They hated me without a cause.’

Acts 4:25-28

25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, ^{▼▼Or child; also verses 27, 30} said by the Holy Spirit,

^ad“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and ^aethe rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his ^afAnointed’ ^{▼▼Or Christ}—
27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your ^ahholy servant Jesus, ^aiwhom you anointed, both ^ajHerod and ^akPontius Pilate, along ^alwith the Gentiles and ^amthe peoples of Israel, 28 ^anto do whatever your hand and ^aoyour plan had predestined to take place.
