“Don't be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.”
“Therefore do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.”

In this way, the sons of God are made manifest, and also the sons of the devil. Everyone who is not just, is not of God, as also anyone who does not love his brother.
For this is the announcement that you heard from the beginning: that you should love one another.
Do not be like Cain, who was of the evil one, and who killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked, but his brother’s works were just.
If the world hates you, brothers, do not be surprised.
We know that we have passed from death to life. For we love as brothers. Whoever does not love, abides in death.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding within him.
We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. And so, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.
