Do Not Love the World

15 ^acDo not love the world or the things in the world. ^adIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world— ^aethe desires of the flesh and ^afthe desires of the eyes and pride of life ^{▼▼Or pride in possessions}—is not from the Father but is from the world. 17 And ^ahthe world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.
