1 John 2:15-17
New Testament for Everyone
People of the lie
15 Do not love the world, or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the father’s love is not in them. 16 Everything in the world, you see—the greedy desire of the flesh, the greedy desire of the eyes, the pride of life—none of this is from the father. It is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, with all its greedy desires. But anyone who does God’s will abides forever.

On Not Loving the World
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world.(A) If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them.(B) 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,(C) the lust of the eyes,(D) and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away,(E) but whoever does the will of God(F) lives forever.
