¹⁹ And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.^(A)

²⁰ For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light, so that their deeds may not be exposed.^(A)

The World’s Hatred

¹⁸ “If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you.^(A)

¹⁹ If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.
