Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 John 2:15-17

"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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." — 1 John 2:15-17 (ASV)

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. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eye, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Everything else is transient, fleeting, and soon passes away; but he who does the will of God has entered into the eternal regions, and he has himself become one of those who abide forever. Do not be carried away, therefore, from your old firm foundation, and from your eternal union to Christ.
