Do Not Love the World

15 ^hDo not love the world or the things in the world. ⁱIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world— ^jthe desires of the flesh and ^kthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ^{▼▼Or pride in possessions}—is not from the Father but is from the world.
