John 15:19 If you were of the world, the world would love his own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world… When courtiers come down into the country, the common home-bred people possibly think their habits strange; but they care not for that. "It is the fashion at Court." What need, then, have the godly to be so tender-foreheaded, to be out of countenance because the world looks on holiness as a singularity? It is the only fashion in the highest Court, — yea, of the King of kings Himself." (H. G. Salter.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
