(KJV)
And the world passeth away,
and the lust thereof:
but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
(NASB2020)
aThe
world is
passing away and
also its
lusts; but the one who
bdoes the
will of
God continues to live forever.
(NET2full)
And the
world is
passing away with all
its desires,
but the person who
does the
will of
God remains ▼▼tn See note on the translation of the Greek verb
μένω (
menō) in
2:6. The translation “remain” is used for
μένω (
menō) here because the context contrasts the transience of the world and its desires with the permanence of the person who does God’s will.
