1 John 2:15-17

New Revised Standard NRS

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.

The Message Bible MSG

15 Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father.

16 Practically everything that goes on in the world - wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important - has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.

17 The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out - but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
