1 John 2:15

Do Not Love The World

¹⁴ I write, Fathers, to you, because you have learned to know him who has been from the Beginning. I write, Young Men, to you, because you are strong, and God's Message is always in your hearts, and you have conquered the Evil One. ¹⁵ Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When any one loves the world, there is no love for the Father in him; ¹⁶ for all that the world can offer--the gratification of the earthly nature, the gratification of the eye, the pretentious life--belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.

In the World

1 John 3:17

But, if any one has worldly possessions, and yet looks on while his Brother is in want, and steels his heart against him, how can it be said that the love of God is within him?
