Jhn 15:3“You are already [fn]clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

Jhn 15:4

Jhn 15:9“Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

Jhn 15:10

Jhn 15:10“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

Jhn 15:19

Jhn 15:19“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

Jhn 15:20

Jhn 15:20“Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

Jhn 15:21

Jhn 15:21“But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

Jhn 15:22

Jhn 15:22“If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have [fn]sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

Jhn 15:23

Jhn 15:23“He who hates Me hates My Father also.

Jhn 15:24

Jhn 15:24“If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have [fn]sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

Jhn 15:25

Jhn 15:25“But this happened to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ‘THEY HATED ME WITHOUT CAUSE.’
