1 John 2:15

See that ye loue not the worlde, neither the thynges that are in the worlde. If any man loue the worlde, the loue of the father is not in hym.

Bible (Bishops')

In The King James Version

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.

16For all that is in the worlde, as the lust of the fleshe, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the father, but of the worlde.
