John 15:19-21
Expanded Bible
19 If you ·belonged to [L were of] the world, it would love you as it loves its own. But I have chosen you out of the world, ·so [because] you don’t belong to it. That is why the world hates you. 20 Remember ·what [the word] I told you: A ·servant [slave; bond-servant] is not greater than his ·master [lord; see 13:16]. If people ·did wrong to [persecuted] me, they will ·do wrong to [persecute] you, too. And if they ·obeyed my teaching [L kept my word], they will ·obey [keep] yours, too. 21 [L But] They will do all this to you on account of ·me [L my name; 14:13], because they do not know the One who sent me.

That is why the world hates you.(B) 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a](C) If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.(D) If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name,(E) for they do not know the one who sent me.(F)
