Do Not Love the World

15 ^vDo not love the world or the things in the world. ^wIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—^xthe desires of the flesh and ^ythe desires of the eyes and pride of life¹—is not from the Father but is from the world.

19 We know that we are from God, and ^qthe whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
