Do Not Love The World (I John 2:15-17) God's Word & The Message Translation

I John 2:15-17 (God's Word Translation)
15  Don’t love the world and what it offers. Those who love the world don’t have the Father’s love in them.
16  Not everything that the world offers—physical gratification, greed, and extravagant lifestyles—comes from the Father. It comes from the world, and 
17  the world and its evil desires are passing away. But the person who does what God wants lives forever.

I John 2:15-17 (The Message Translation)
15-17  Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
