John 15:20-22
1599 Geneva Bible
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, (A)The servant is not greater than his master. (B)If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also: if they have kept my word, they will also keep yours.
21 [a]But (C)all these things will they do unto you for my Name’s sake, because they have not known him that sent me.
22 [b]If I had not come and spoken unto them, they should not have had sin: but now have they no cloak for their sin.

- John 15:21 The hatred that the world beareth against Christ, proceedeth of the blockishness of the mind, which notwithstanding is voluntary blind, so that the world can pretend no excuse to cover their fault.
- John 15:22 As who would say, If I had not come, these men would not have stuck to have said still before God’s judgment seat, that they are religious, and void of sin: but seeing I came to them, and they clean refuse me, they can have no cloak for their wickedness.
