1 John 2
"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever."
" 24See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you..."
"...continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. "
1 John 3
"11This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another"
"23And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us."
