John 15:19 states, “If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.” God commands His people to be separate from the world. 2 Corinthians 6:17, “‘Therefore, Come out from them and be separate,’ says the Lord.”
