Do Not Love The World

16 For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the desire of it: but he, that doth the will of God, abideth for ever. 18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that an antichrist will come, there are even now many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.
