Love not the world, nor any thing which is in it; for whoever loveth the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

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 every thing that is in the world, is the lust of the body, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of the world. These which are not of the Father, but they are from the world itself.
