1 John 2:15-25

15 Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passes away and the lust thereof, but he that does the will of God abides for ever.

18 Little children, it is the last hour, and as ye have heard that the antichrist comes, likewise there are also beginning to be many antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but this happened that it might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20 But ye have the anointing of the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21 I have not written unto you as if ye ignore the truth, but as unto those that know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? This same is antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.

23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. Whosoever confesses the Son, has the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. For if that which ye have heard from the beginning shall abide in you, ye also shall continue to abide in the Son and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.
