Why would anyone be hated for the gospel of Christ?
It's just the way it is folks:

I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
--JOHN 17.14
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
--LUKE 21.17
It's amazing today how this works even though I'm not ORDAINED, or a PASTOR, or some "approved" or "ordained" TEACHER, EVANGELIST, TELEVANGELIST, PROPHET, or PREACHER. But I certain am at liberty to PREACH the gospel of Christ Jesus.
Although I may not be one of the men of renown today in leading evangelical Christian circles and various other fundamental, independent Christian circles, I have received freely the gift of God which is not of works. And since I have freely received so I freely give out the gospel of Christ. I seem to remember others who have freely received and freely gave too and without charge:
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
--I CORINTHIANS 9.18
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
--MATTHEW 10.8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
--MATTHEW 10.8
Look at who else gave us freely all things. If you can't see who this is then look a little closer at this link:
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
--ROMANS 8.32
