1 John 2
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
15 Ref Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Ref Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.
17 Ref And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.
World English Bible (WEB)
15 Ref Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
16 Ref For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.
17 Ref The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
15 Ref Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,
16 Ref because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,
17 Ref and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.
