¹³ Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world doth hate you;

¹⁴ I have given to them Thy word, and the world did hate them, because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world;

¹⁸ if the world doth hate you, ye know that it hath hated me before you;

¹⁹ if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not -- but I chose out of the world -- because of this the world hateth you.

⁷ and the messenger said to me, `Wherefore didst thou wonder? I -- I will tell thee the secret of the woman and of the beast that `is' carrying her, which hath the seven heads and the ten horns.

⁴ Adulterers and adulteresses! have ye not known that friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoever, then, may counsel to be a friend of the world, an enemy of God he is set.

¹² and all also who will to live piously in Christ Jesus shall be persecuted,

⁷ because the mind of the flesh `is' enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

¹² and Peter having seen, answered unto the people, `Men, Israelites! why wonder ye at this? or on us why look ye so earnestly, as if by our own power or piety we have made him to walk?

³³ these things I have spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace, in the world ye shall have tribulation, but take courage -- I have overcome the world.'

² out of the synagogues they will put you; but an hour doth come, that every one who hath killed you, may think to offer service unto God;

⁷ the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁷ `Thou mayest not wonder that I said to thee, It behoveth you to be born from above;

¹⁷ and ye shall be hated by all because of my name --

²² `Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake --

¹³ and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end -- he shall be saved.

⁹ then they shall deliver you up to tribulation, and shall kill you, and ye shall be hated by all the nations because of my name;

²² and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.

⁸ If oppression of the poor, and violent taking away of judgment and righteousness thou seest in a province, do not marvel at the matter, for a higher than the high is observing, and high ones `are' over them.
