16You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.
17So this is my law for you: Have love one for another.
18If you are hated by the world, keep in mind that I was hated by the world before you.
19If you were of the world, you would be loved by the world: but because you are not of the world, but I have taken you out of the world, you are hated by the world.
20Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.
21They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.
22If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.
