If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before you.  If you were of the world, the world would love what is its own.  But because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.  Remember the word that I have spoken to you: No servant is greater than his master.  If they have persecuted me, they will persecute you also.
(John. 15:18-20)
