Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love these things you show that you do not really love God; for all these worldly things, are evil desires: the craze for sex, the ambition to buy everything that appeals to you, and the pride that comes from wealth and importance, these are not from God. They are from this evil world itself.

1 John 2:12-17 And this world is fading away, and these evil, forbidden things will go with it, but whoever keeps doing the will of God will live forever.

¹² I am writing these things to all of you, my little children, because your sins are forgiven in the name of Jesus our Savior.

¹³ I am saying these things to you older men because you really know Christ, the One who has been alive from the beginning. And you young men, I am talking to you because you have won your battle with satan. And i am writing to you younger boys and girls because you, too, have learned to know God our Father.

¹⁴ And so I say to you fathers who know the eternal God, and to you young men who are strong, with God’s Word in your hearts, and have won your struggled against satan. Stay true and faithful. Amen.
