1 John 2:14-16
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
14 I write unto you, babes, because you have known the Father. I write unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and you have overcome the wicked one.
15 Love not the world, nor the things which are in the world. If any man love the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, is the concupiscence of the flesh, and the concupiscence of the eyes, and the pride of life, which is not of the Father, but is of the world.

New International Version
14 I write to you, dear children,(A)

because you know him who is from the beginning.(B)
I write to you, young men,
because you are strong,(C)
and the word of God(D) lives in you,(E)

On Not Loving the World
15 Do not love the world or anything in the world.(G) If anyone loves the world, love for the Father[a] is not in them.(H) 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,(I) the lust of the eyes,(J) and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.
