1 John 2:16-18

New Century Version

¹⁶ These are the ways of the world: wanting to please our sinful selves, wanting the sinful things we see, and being too proud of what we have. None of these come from the Father, but all of them come from the world. ¹⁷ The world and everything that people want in it are passing away, but the person who does what God wants lives forever.

Reject the Enemies of Christ

¹⁸ My dear children, these are the last days. You have heard that the enemy of Christ is coming, and now many enemies of Christ are already here. This is how we know that these are the last days.
