Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.

For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.
