The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.
      1. From the inconsistency of this love with the love of God: If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,1 John 2:15; 1 John 2:15. The heart of man is narrow, and cannot contain both loves. The world draws down the heart from God; and so the more the love of the world prevails the more the love of God dwindles and decays.
