Do Not Love The World

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because ye understand him who was from the beginning: I have written you, young men, because ye are, strong, and the word of God, within you, abideth, and ye have overcome the wicked one. 15 Be not loving the world, nor yet the things that are in the world: if anyone be loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 Because, all that is in the world - the coveting of the flesh, the coveting of the eyes, and the vain grandeur of life - is not of the Father, but is, of the world;
