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 worldpthe 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.
