1 John 2:12-17
12I am writingG1125 to you, 1littleG5040 childrenG5040, becauseG3754 2your sinsG266 have been forgivenG863 you for His name’sG3686 sakeG1223. 13I am writingG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 3who has been from the beginningG746. I am writingG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 4you have overcomeG3528 5the evilG4190 oneG4190. I have writtenG1125 to you, childrenG3813, becauseG3754 6you knowG1097 the FatherG3962. 14I have writtenG1125 to you, fathersG3962, becauseG3754 you knowG1097 Him 7who has been from the beginningG746. I have writtenG1125 to you, youngG3495 menG3495, becauseG3754 you are 8strongG2478, and the 9wordG3056 of GodG2316 abidesG3306 in you, and 10you have overcomeG3528 the evilG4190 oneG4190.
15Do not loveG25 11the worldG2889 norG3366 the things in the worldG2889. 12IfG1437 anyoneG5100 lovesG25 the worldG2889, the loveG26 of the FatherG3962 is not in him. 16For allG3956 that is in the worldG2889, 13the lustG1939 of the fleshG4561 and 14the lustG1939 of the eyesG3788 and 15the boastfulG212 prideG212 of lifeG979, is not from the FatherG3962, but is from the worldG2889. 1716The worldG2889 is passingG3855 awayG3855, and also its lustsG1939; but the one who 17doesG4160 the willG2307 of GodG2316 livesG3306 foreverG165.
