Do Not Love the World

15 aDo not love the world or the things in the world. bIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world— cthe desires of the flesh and dthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ▼
▼Or  pride in possessions
—is not from the Father but is from the world.

1 John 5:4-5

4For feveryone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world— gour faith. 5Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes hthat Jesus is the Son of God?
