15Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of

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

the Father, but is from the world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one

who does the will of God lives forever.I John 2:15-17
