If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

(19) If you were from the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you aren't of the world, rather I chose you from the world because of this the world hates you.
The F.O.G
If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. But you no longer belong to this world because I have chosen you out of it. That's why the world hates you.

if of the world ye were, the world its own would have been loving, and because of the world ye are not—but I chose out of the world—because of this the world hateth you.
