¹⁷ And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

²¹ They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

¹⁹ If 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.

²² Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

³ And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.

¹⁴ If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

²⁹ Because to you it has been given in the cause of Christ not only to have faith in him, but to undergo pain on his account:

¹⁰ So I take pleasure in being feeble, in unkind words, in needs, in cruel attacks, in troubles, on account of Christ: for when I am feeble, then am I strong.

¹¹ For, while living, we are still being given up to death because of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may be seen in our flesh, though it is under the power of death.

⁵ For our preaching is not about ourselves, but about Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants through Jesus.

¹⁶ For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

¹⁴ I have given your word to them; and they are hated by the world, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

⁷ It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

¹³ And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.

⁹ Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

²² And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

¹¹ Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.
