1 John 3:13

¹⁸If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you. ¹⁹If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

¹⁴I have given them your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

¹⁷You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake.

¹²Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.

⁴You adulterers and adulteresses, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

²²Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.

¹³You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

⁹“Then they will deliver you up to oppression and will kill you. You will be hated by all of the nations for my name’s sake.

⁷because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God, for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

⁸If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a district, don’t marvel at the matter, for one official is eyed by a higher one, and there are officials over them.
