1 John 2:15-16-“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.”
2 John 8-“Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward.”
