If the world hates you.
Know that it had hated me .
Before it hated you .
And much of it still hates me.

If you were of the world.
The world would love you as its own.
But you are not of the world.
We are in this material world no one’s own.

But I chose you out of the world.
Therefore the world hates you .
But what does it matter, this world.
For me or you.

If they kept my word.
They would also keep your word.

…..

If the world hates you
Know that it had hated me
We’re not of this world
