1 John 2:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 [a]Love not this [b]world, neither the things that are in this world. If any man love this world, the [c]love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in this world, (as the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life) is not of the Father, but is of this world.
17 [d]And this world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that fulfilleth the will of God, abideth ever.

- 1 John 2:15 The world which is full of wicked desires, lusts or pleasures, and pride, is utterly hated of our heavenly Father. Therefore the Father and the world cannot be loved together: and this admonition is very necessary for green and flourishing youth.
- 1 John 2:15 He speaketh of the world, as it agreeth not with the will of God, for otherwise God is said to love the world with an infinite love, John 3:16, that is to say, those whom he chose out of the world.
- 1 John 2:15 Wherewith the Father is loved.
- 1 John 2:17 He showeth how much better it is to obey the Father’s will, than the lusts of the world, by both their natures and unlike event.
