1 JOHN 3:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 2
“Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.”
Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you — the hatred (miseo) of the world toward believers continues Cain's pattern. Surprise (thaumazo) would be inappropriate: opposition is eschatologically expected. Hatred marks the boundary between God's children and the world's children.
