1 John 3:13

Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

(v13, NIV)

If in fact the world hates you, do not be surprised. It's not a big surprise or outrageous assertion to find out that the world hates you. We are born of God; however, the world is of the devil. Recall Cain who John refers to in the last verse. Cain belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. The reason for this is because Cain's actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. Following the course of history and examples before our eyes, it's plain to see what the world does to those who are righteous. Do not surprised if the world hates you.
