1 John 2:16

Do Not Love The World

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; ¹⁷ And, the world, passeth away, and the coveting thereof, but, he that doeth the will of God, endureth unto times age-abiding.
