I wrote to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God continues in you, and you have overcome the evil one. ¹⁵ Love not the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; ¹⁶ for all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire 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 its desires; but he that does the will of God continues for ever.
