James 4:4

New International Version (NIV)

4 You adulterous people, [a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Footnotes:

[a] James 4:4 An allusion to covenant unfaithfulness; see Hosea 3:1.


1 John 2:15-17

New International Version (NIV)

15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father [a] is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Footnotes:

[a] 1 John 2:15 Or world, the Father’s love
