1 John 2:15–23
15 Do not love athe world nor the things in the world. bIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, athe lust of the flesh and bthe lust of the eyes and cthe boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.
17 aThe world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who bdoes the will of God lives forever.
18 Children, ait is the last hour; and just as you heard that bantichrist is coming, ceven now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.
19 aThey went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, bso that 1it would be shown that they all are not of us.
20 1But you have an aanointing from bthe Holy One, and cyou all know.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but abecause you do know it, and 1because no lie is bof the truth.
22 Who is the liar but athe one who denies that Jesus is the 1Christ? This is bthe antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.
23 aWhoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.
