Johannes 15:19
If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Study Note
Jesus' statement about the world's hatred of his disciples because they have been chosen 'out of the world' (ek tou kosmou) reflects the Fourth Gospel's characteristic dualism between the believing community and the unbelieving 'world' (kosmos) as a domain of opposition to divine revelation. The verse belongs to the Farewell Discourse section on persecution (15:18–16:4) and provides a theological explanation for social exclusion: it is not the disciples' failure but their election that provokes hostility. The logic of election-producing-enmity echoes Jesus' quotation of Psalm 35:19 in verse 25 ('they hated me without cause'), extending to disciples the pattern of the Righteous Sufferer Psalms. Sociologically, this passage served early Christian communities as a framework for understanding and enduring minority-group hostility.
