Do Not Love The World

15 Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 Because everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the arrogance of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but he who does the will of God abides into the age.
