The
World is ruled by Flesh and Pride.
16 For
all that is in the World,
The
Lust of the Flesh
[Craving
for sensual gratification],
And
the Lust of the eyes
[Greedy
longings of the mind]
And
the Pride of Life
[Assurance
of one's own resources
Or in
the stability of Earthly things] –
These
do not come from the father
But
are from the World [itself].
17 And
the World Passes Away
And
Disappears,
And
with it the Forbidden Cravings
(The
passionate desires, the Lust of it;
But he
who does the Will of God
And
carries out His Purposes in his life,
Abides
(remains) FOREVER.
(1
John 2:16-17)
