For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

ગુજરાતીયોહાનનો પહેલો પત્ર ૨:૧૬
કેમ કે જગતમાં જે સર્વ છે, એટલે દૈહિક વાસનાઓ, આંખોની લાલસા તથા જીવનનો અહંકાર તે પિતાથી નથી, પણ જગતથી છે.
हिन्दी1 यूहन्ना २:१६
क्योंकि जो कुछ संसार में है, अर्थात् शरीर की अभिलाषा, और आँखों की अभिलाषा और जीविका का घमण्ड, वह पिता की ओर से नहीं, परन्तु संसार ही की ओर से है। (रोम. 13:14, नीति. 27:20)

In context

14I have written to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God remains in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

15Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him.

16For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

17The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God’s will remains forever.

18Little children, these are the end times, and as you heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen. By this we know that it is the final hour.
