15
Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.
16
Everything that belongs to the world - what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of - none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world.
17
The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever.
