Hate
Without the daily cultivation of love the masses will degenerate until they seek Rulers, like Nimrod and Saul who will resort to the use of force to provide the tables of Welfare that will become a snare. The people who have an appetite for the wages of unrighteousness will not love the light nor truth until darkness and hate becomes their constant companion.
Some have been taught that a Christian's job is to suffer and be willing to be hated for Christ.
It would seem a Christian's "job" would be to follow "The Way" of Christ, be doers of the Word, and also turn away from that which He said not do, especially those things that "make the word of God to none effect".
Originally one of His first directives was to repent and seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
Hate you
Others instructions were to love God and your neighbor as your self. But we are also told to love our enemy and even those who "hate you".
Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"
Anyone can make enemies but that is not our job to do so. But it seems our job is to love our enemy.
To be hated is not the point nor the goal. Christ gives us a detailed explanation of the condition for whom is hated and why if we have eyes to see and ears to hear.
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
Who or what is the world?
This will be essential to have a thorough understand of what the word world means in the context
What does it mean to be in the world but not of the world?
How does one become "of the world"?
If we understand what and why the Corban of the Pharisees makes the word of God to none effect".
Corban means "sacrifice". That sacrifice provided a social safety net for ancient societies But it is the "means and method" of that sacrifice which degenerates the soul of society or cause it to bear fruit.
Herod and Caesar implemented the former system based on force, fear, and fealty. Once those governments obtained the consent of the people, those governments of the world used their newly granted power to exercise authority[1] to take from the people so they could set their Table of government benefits and dainties for the welfare of the people who became members of the system "of that world".
David said this was a snare and a trap, Paul agreed. Peter warned that these system as "legal charity" would make the people merchandise and eventually curse children.
While John the Baptist, Jesus, and the early Church preached and pursued the means and method rooted in faith, hope and charity.[2] It required that every one loved their neighbor and not bite[3] one another through the teeth of the benefactors of the world who exercise authority one[1] over the other.
Paul spoke of the two tables where one was snare and the other rightly divide bread from house to house.

1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

Leviticus 26:14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments; 15 And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you[4] shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18 And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 20 And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
