This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 15:19. Ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου) of the world and on its side, of its party.-τὸ ἴδιον, its own) It would love you for its own sake, not for yours. Its own is said instead of you, and so the fact of it being the interest of the world to do so is marked.-ἐζελεξάμην ὑμᾶς, I have chosen you) as ἰδίους, My own, ch. Joh 13:1, “Jesus having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end.” Believers are no better than the world, as considered in themselves, but are so only by election. This it is which makes the great distinction.
