John 15:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ Whoever hates me hates my Father also. ²⁴ They would not have been guilty of sin if I had not done among them the things that no one else ever did; as it is, they have seen what I did, and they hate both me and my Father. ^25 (A)This, however, was bound to happen so that what is written in their Law may come true: ‘They hated me for no reason at all.’
