1 John 2:16

Next

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.

For {G3754} all {G3956} that is in {G1722} the world {G2889}, the lust {G1939} of the flesh {G4561}, and {G2532} the lust {G1939} of the eyes {G3788}, and {G2532} the pride {G212} of life {G979}, is {G2076} not {G3756} of {G1537} the Father {G3962}, but {G235} is {G2076} of {G1537} the world {G2889}.

because all the things of the world — the desires of the old nature, the desires of the eyes, and the pretensions of life — are not from the Father but from the world.

For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
