15Do not choose to love the world, nor the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the charity of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world is the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the arrogance of a life which is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17And the world is passing away, with its desire. But whoever does the will of God abides unto eternity.

16For God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that all who believe in him may not perish, but may have eternal life.
