1 Peter 1:14

14As obedient children, ado not be conformed to the passions bof your former ignorance,

1 Peter 1:18

18knowing that you cwere ransomed from dthe futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

1 Peter 4:2

2 eso as to live for fthe rest of the time in the flesh gno longer for human passions but hfor the will of God.

2 Peter 1:4

4by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become ipartakers of the divine nature, jhaving escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

2 Peter 2:20

20For if, kafter they have escaped the defilements of the world lthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, mthe last state has become worse for them than the first.

1 John 2:15-17

Do Not Love the World

15 nDo not love the world or the things in the world. oIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world— pthe desires of the flesh and qthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ▼
▼Or  pride in possessions
—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17And sthe world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

1 John 3:13

13Do not be surprised, brothers, ▼
▼Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 14, 16
 uthat the world hates you.

1 John 4:4-5

4Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for vhe who is in you is greater than whe who is in the world. 5 xThey are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and ythe world listens to them.

1 John 5:19

19We know that we are from God, and zthe whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
