SUMMARY:
"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If
any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in
the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is
not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust
of it; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever."
I John 2:15-17

"Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully
upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient
children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He
who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, "Be
holy, for I am holy." And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according
to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing
that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless
conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of
a lamb without blemish and without spot."
I Peter 1:13-19 |
