Chapter 15 (811) GOSPEL OF JOHN
*
hese things I command you, so that you may
love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own! But you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, and so the world hates you. Remem- ber what I told you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also per- secute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But they will do all these things to you on account of my Name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spo- ken to them, they would not have had sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin! Whoever hates me also hates my Father. If I had not accomplished among them the works which no one else had done before, they would not have had sin. But now, they have seen and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this has happened so that the word which was written in their law may be fulfilled; they hated me without reason. But, when the Coun- selor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me. You also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
