Do Not Love the World
15 Do 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. 16 For 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.
18 Children, (H)it is the last hour; and just as you heard that (I)antichrist is coming, (J)even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 19 (K)They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, (L)so that [a]it would be evident that they all are not of us. 20 [b]But you have an (M)anointing from (N)the Holy One, and (O)you all know. 21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but (P)because you do know it, and [c]because no lie is (Q)of the truth. 22 Who is the liar except (R)the one who denies that Jesus is the [d]Christ? This is (S)the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. 23 (T)Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 24 As for you, see that what you heard (U)from the beginning remains in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also (V)will remain in the Son and in the Father.

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.
Warnings Against Denying the Son
18 Dear children, this is the last hour;(G) and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,(H) even now many antichrists have come.(I) This is how we know it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us,(J) but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.(K)
20 But you have an anointing(L) from the Holy One,(M) and all of you know the truth.[b](N) 21 I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it(O) and because no lie comes from the truth. 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.(P) 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.(Q)
24 As for you, see that what you have heard from the beginning(R) remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.(S)
