John 15:19 Context
17These things I commaund you, that ye loue one another. 18If the world hate you, yee know that it hated me before it hated you. 19If ye were of the world, the world would loue his owne: But because yee are not of the world, but I haue chosen you out of the world, therfore the world hateth you. 20Remember the word that I said vnto you, The seruant is not greater then the Lord: if they haue persecuted me, they will also persecute you: if they haue kept my saying, they will keepe yours also. 21But all these things will they doe vnto you for my Names sake, because they know not him that sent me.
