Thanks, Brother, for your reminder! ^-^ Yes, I admit I was angry seeing him hate God without causes and spread his hate around. But you're right. I will rely on God. May God clean my heart, every day.
18“If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first.
19 The world would love you as one of its own if you belonged to it, but you are no longer part of the world. I chose you to come out of the world, so it hates you.
20 Do you remember what I told you? ‘A slave is not greater than the master.’ Since they persecuted me, naturally they will persecute you. And if they had listened to me, they would listen to you.
21 They will do all this to you because of me, for they have rejected the one who sent me.
22 They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.
23 Anyone who hates me also hates my Father.
24 If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father.
25 This fulfills what is written in their Scriptures:
‘They hated me without cause.’ (John 15:18-25)
18 “这世界如果恨你们,你们应当知道,世界在恨你们之前已经恨我了。
19 如果你们属于这世界,世界会把你们做为属自己的来爱;但是,因为你们不属于这世界,而是我从世界中拣选了你们,所以世界就恨你们。
20 你们当记住我对你们说过的话:“没有一个奴仆大过他的主人。”他们既然逼迫了我,也会逼迫你们;如果他们遵守了我的话,也就会遵守你们的话。
21 但是,因我名的缘故,他们会对你们做这一切事,因为他们不认识派我来的那一位。
22 如果我没有来,也没有教导他们,他们就没有罪;但如今,他们的罪无可推诿了。
23 恨我的,也恨我的父。
24 如果我没有在他们当中做别人从未做过的事,他们就没有罪;但如今他们虽然看到了,还是恨我和我的父。
25 不过这是为要应验他们律法上所记载的话:
‘他们无缘无故地恨我。’ (约翰福音 15:18-25)
