NASB | John 15:19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 15:19 "If you belonged to the world, the world would love [you as] its own and would treat you with affection. But you are not of the world [you no longer belong to it], but I have chosen you out of the world. And because of this the world hates you. |
Bible Question:
In John 7:7 Jesus said, "the world cannot hate you." In John In John 15:19 Jesus said, "the world hates you." and in John 17:14 Jesus said, "The world hates them." Is this a contradiction, and if not, please explain. |
Bible Answer: This in fact is not a contradiction. And to prove this we need go no further than the passages themselves. Simply read previous verses in John 7 to see who he is talking to in that passage. In john 15:19 the problem is resolved if you simply read the verse in its entirety. Please do look these up yourself, and it would be beneficial to develop that habit of looking at context, but to finally answer...The world cannot hate its own who do not believe, but will certainly hate Christ's who do believe. In Christ, Beja |
