1 John 2

Do Not Love the World

15 *[Rom. 12:2;2 Tim. 4:10] Do not love the world or the things in the world. *See James 4:4If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—*Rom. 13:14;Eph. 2:3;1 Pet. 4:2;2 Pet. 2:18the desires of the flesh and *Eccles. 4:8;5:11the desires of the eyes and pride of life*2:16 Or pride in possessions—is not from the Father but is from the world.
