Do Not Love the World

¹⁵Do not love ^(A)the world nor the things in the world. ^(B)If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶For all that is in the world, ^(C)the lust of the flesh and ^(D)the lust of the eyes and ^(E)the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. ¹⁷^(F)The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who ^(G)does the will of God continues to live forever.
