This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The world would love its own (ho kosmos an to idion ephilei). Conclusion of second-class condition (determined as unfulfilled), regular idiom with an and imperfect indicative in present time.
But because ye are not of the world (hoti de ek tou kosmou ouk este). Definite and specific reason for the world’s hatred of real Christians whose very existence is a reproach to the sinful world. Cf. Joh 7:7; Joh 17:14; 1Jo 3:13. Does the world hate us? If not, why not? Has the world become more Christian or Christians more worldly?
