2 [15:18]If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before you. [15:19] If you were of this world, the world would be a friend to its own; but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. [15:20]Remember the word which I said to you, a servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours. [15:21]But all these things they will do to you, on my account, because they know not him that sent me. [15:22]If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had sin; but now they have no pretext for their sin. [15:23]He that hates me, hates my Father also. [15:24]If I had not done among them the works which no other one has done, they would not have had sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. [15:25]But [they do this] that the word written in their law may be fulfilled, They hated me without cause. [15:26]But when the Comforter has come, whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me; [15:27]and you shall also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning. 3 [16:1]These things I have said to you, that you may not be offended. [16:2] They shall put you out of the synagogues; but the hour is coming when every one that kills you will think he renders God a service. [16:3]And these things they will do, because they have not known the Father nor me. [16:4]But these things I have told you, that when the time comes you may remember that I told you of them. But I told you not these things at the beginning, because I was with you. [16:5]But now I go to him that sent me, and no one of you asks me, Where do you go? [16:6]But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. [16:7]But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I should go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go I will send him to you. [16:8]And when he has come, he will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: [16:9]of sin, because they believe not on me; [16:10]and of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and you behold me no more; [16:11]and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. 4 [16:12]I have many things yet to say to you, but you cannot bear them now; [16:13]but when he, the Spirit of truth has come, he will lead you in all the truth; for he will not speak of himself, but he will speak whatever he shall hear, and tell you things to come. [16:14]He shall glorify me, because he shall receive from me and tell you. [16:15]All things that the Father has, are mine; on this account I said, He shall receive of me and tell you.
