15. Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.
16. Everything that belongs to the world — what the sinful self desires, what people see and want, and everything in this world that people are so proud of — none of this comes from the Father; it all comes from the world.
17. The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live for ever.
18. My children, the end is near! You were told that the Enemy of Christ would come; and now many enemies of Christ have already appeared, and so we know that the end is near.
