17. `These things I command you, that ye love one another;
18. if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;
19. if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not--but I chose out of the world--because of this the world hateth you.
20. `Remember the word that I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord; if me they did persecute, you also they will persecute; if my word they did keep, yours also they will keep;
21. but all these things will they do to you, because of my name, because they have not known Him who sent me;
22. if I had not come and spoken to them, they were not having sin; but now pretext they have not for their sin.
23. `He who is hating me, doth hate also my Father;
24. if I did not do among them the works that no other hath done, they were not having sin, and now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father;
25. but--that the word may be fulfilled that was written in their law--They hated me without a cause.
26. `And when the Comforter may come, whom I will send to you from the Father--the Spirit of truth, who from the Father doth come forth, he will testify of me;
27. and ye also do testify, because from the beginning ye are with me.
