if you accept Jesus Christ, the world will hate you, and it will persecute you. [h=3]John 15 :18 - 19[/h] [SUP]18 [/SUP]“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. [SUP]19 [/SUP]If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. [SUP]20 [/SUP]Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours.
