17 This I command you: that you love one another.
18 If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.
19 If you had been of the world, the world would love what is its own. Yet truly, you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world; because of this, the world hates you.
20 Remember my saying that I told you: The servant is not greater than his Lord. If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they have kept my word, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things they will do to you because of my name, for they do not know him who sent me.
22 If I had not come and had not spoken to them, they would not have sin. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Whoever hates me, hates my Father also.
