KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If you belonged to this world, it would totally embrace you as one of its own. But you don't belong here anymore — I chose you and pulled you out of all that. That's exactly why the world can't stand you.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you're chosen by Jesus, don't expect the world to get it — you're playing by different rules now.
