15 Do not love1the worldnor the things in the world. 2Ifanyoneloves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16
For all that is in the world, 3the lust of the flesh and 4the lust of the eyes and 5the boastfulpride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17
6The world is passingaway, and also its lusts; but the one who 7does the will of Godlivesforever.
