Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love isn't in him.
      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.
