John 15:18-27

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on John 15:18-27

18If the world hates you, understand that it hated Me first.
19If you were of the world, it would love you as its own. Instead, the world hates you, because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.
20Remember the word that I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they kept My word, they will keep yours as well.
21But they will treat you like this because of My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.
22If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.
23Whoever hates Me hates My Father as well.
24If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.
25But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated Me without reason.’
26When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father — the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father — He will testify about Me.
27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.
— John 15:18-27
