Do Not Love the World

15 mDo not love the world or the things in the world. nIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the worldothe desires of the flesh and pthe desires of the eyes and pride of life
Or  pride in possessions
is not from the Father but is from the world.
