1 John 2:15-16

15
LOVING THE COSMOS
Neither love the cosmos, nor those in the cosmos: whenever anyone loves the cosmos the love of the Father is not in him. 16 Because all that is in the cosmos - the panting of the flesh, and the panting of the eyes, and the pride of existence is not of the Father, but is of the cosmos.

24 And Yaaqov remains alone; and there a man wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn: 25 and when he sees that he prevails not against him, he touches the hollow of his flank; and the hollow of the flank of Yaaqov dislocates as he wrestles with him: 26 and he says, Send me away, for the dawn ascends.

YAAQOV NAMED YISRA EL 27 And he says to him, What is your name?

And he says, Why ask you my name? - and he blesses him there. 30 And Yaaqov calls the name of the place Peni El: for I saw Elohim face to face and my soul is rescued. 31 And as he passes over Peni El the sun rises on him and he limps on his flank. 32 Therefore, to this day, the sons of Yisra El eat not of the sinew which shriveled, which is on the hollow of the flank: because he touched the hollow of the flank of Yaaqov in the sinew that shriveled.
