Jesus Christ said, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."                                           

(John 15:18).

But this is to to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated Me without reason.' (John 15:25; Psalm 69:4).

If you belong to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do NOT belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.  That is why the world hates you. (John 15:18-19).

Jesus said, Remember the words I spoke to you: 'If they persecuted Me,  they will persecute you also.' (John15:20).                                                                                                                                                                                                 

They will treat you this way because of my name,for they do NOT know the One (God) who sent Me.  (John 15:21).

Jesus said, "All men will hate you because of Me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." (Matthew 10:22, Mark 13:13).

Help me Lord, not be among those who "when trouble or persecution comes because of the Word,     they quickly fall away." (Mark 4:17).
