John 15:21

²²You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

³They will do these things^[+] because they have not known the Father nor me.

¹⁹They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

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.

¹⁸Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

⁴¹They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

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.

³This is how we know that we know him: if we keep his commandments. ⁴One who says, “I know him,” and doesn’t keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth isn’t in him.

¹⁷“Now, brothers,^[+] I know that you did this in ignorance, as did also your rulers.

³You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have ^[+] not grown weary.
