1 John 2:15-17

15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world;
16 for all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, the pride in riches—comes not from the Father but from the world.
17 And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God live forever.
