The World will Hate you - John 15:18-27

In John 15:18-27, Jesus warns His disciples that the world will hate them because of their relationship with Him, just as it hated Him. He reminds them that the world’s hatred is a sign that they are not of the world but chosen out of it. He also promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, who will testify about Him, and the disciples will bear witness to the truth as well. Εἰ ὁ κόσμος ὑμᾶς μισεῖ, ἐπιστήσατε ὅτι ἐμὲ πρότερον ὑμῶν ἐμίσησεν. Εἰ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου ἦτε, ὁ κόσμος ἐγὼ ἄν ἀγαπᾶ, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου οὐκ ἐστὲ, ἀλλὰ ἐκ τοῦ ἐξελέξατό με ὑμᾶς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου, διὰ τοῦτο μισεῖ ὑμᾶς ὁ κόσμος. Μνημονεύετε τοῦ λόγου ὃν ἐγὼ εἶπον ὑμῖν, Οὐκ ἔστιν δοῦλος μεῖζων τοῦ κυρίου αὐτοῦ. ἐὰν ἐμέ ἐδίωξαν, καὶ ὑμᾶς διώξουσιν. ἐὰν τὸν λόγον ἐμὸν τηρήσωσιν, καὶ τὸν ὑμέτερον τηρήσουσιν. Ἐκ τούτων δὲ πάντα ποιήσουσιν ὑμῖν ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματος μου, ὅτι οὐκ οἴδασιν τὸν πέμψαντά με. Εἰ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἦλθον καὶ ἐλάλησα αὐτοῖς, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἔχοντες· νῦν δὲ προφασίζονται τὴν ἁμαρτίαν αὐτῶν. Ὁ ἐμὲ μισῶν, καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου μισεῖ. Εἰ ἐποίησα ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα, ἃ οὐδεὶς ἄλλος ἐποίησεν, ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἶχον· νῦν δὲ καὶ ἑώρακαν καὶ ἔμισησαν ἐμοὺς καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου. Ἀλλὰ ἵνα πληρωθῇ ὁ λόγος ὃς γέγραπται ἐν τῷ νόμῳ αὐτῶν, ὅτι ἐμίσησάν με δωρεὰν. ὅταν δὲ ἔλθῃ ὁ παράκλητος, ὃν ἐγὼ πέμψω ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ πατρός, τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας, ὃ ἐκ τοῦ πατρός ἐκπορεύεται, ἐκεῖνος μαρτυρήσει περὶ ἐμοῦ· καὶ ὑμεῖς μαρτυρήσετε, ὅτι ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς μετ’ ἐμοῦ ἦτε.
