1 John 2:15-17
English Standard Version
Do Not Love the World
15 (A)Do not love the world or 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 desires of the flesh and (D)the desires of the eyes and pride of life[a]—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And (E)the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

A Warning about the World
15 Do not love the world(A) or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh,(B) the lust of the eyes,(C) and the pride(D) in one’s possessions—is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 And the world with its lust is passing away,(E) but the one who does the will of God(F) remains forever.(G)
