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.
