What does the Bible say about being hated by the world?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that Christians will be hated by the world because they do not belong to it, as seen in John 15:18-19.

In John 15:18-19, Jesus said, 'If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.' This statement underscores the reality that true believers are not favored by the world. Instead, they are chosen out of the world, and this choice results in hostility from those who reject the gospel. The idea that Christians will face contempt is not new; it reflects the experiences of believers throughout history who have held firmly to God's truths, often in stark contrast to the world's values.
