1 John 2:15; 1 John 2:24; 1 John 2:28

1 John 2:15

15 Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

1 John 2:24

24 As for you, let the teaching which you have received from the very beginning continue in your hearts. If that teaching does continue in your hearts, you also will continue to be in union with the Son and with the Father.

1 John 2:28

28 And now, dear children, continue in union with Him; so that, if He re-appears, we may have perfect confidence, and may not shrink away in shame from His presence at His Coming.
