1 John 2:16 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

The world's obsession with pleasure, appearances, and ego isn't God's vibe.
