|Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
|Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
|
|You did not choose me, but I chose you, and established you so that you can go out and bear fruit that will last. That way, whatever you ask the Father in my name, He would give it to you.

||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.
||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.
|
|If you were of the world, the world would love its own. However, since you are not of the world, because I chose you out of the world, the world hates you.
|
|The word for love here is "phileo," meaning a deep, emotional feeling. The world might "feel" love, but that does not automatically mean the world will DO love.

|But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
|But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
|
|They will treat you like this because you follow My name, since they do not know the One who sent Me.

|If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
|If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.
|
|I I did not come and speak to them, they would not have visible sin, but now they have no way to hide their sin.
|
|The implication here is that Jesus exposed, for all to see, the full extent and breadth of their sin. So now they can neither hide it nor claim ignorance.

|If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
|
|If I had not done miracles among them which no one else has ever done, they would not have visible sin, but now they have seen and hated both me and my Father.

|But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
|But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
|
|Additionally, it was so that the word written in their law, 'They hated me for no reason,' was fulfilled,
|
|From Psalm 69:4. "Those who hate me for no reason are more than the hairs of my head; they who would destroy me are mighty, my lying enemies. Then I restored what I did not take away."
