²³ He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

²⁴ If I had not done among them the works which none other did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

⁴¹ I receive not glory from men.

⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in yourselves.

⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

⁴⁴ How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that `cometh' from the only God ye seek not?

⁴⁵ Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, `even' Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.
