For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. – 1 John 2:16-17
Temporary nature of worldly desires, such as physical cravings, materialism, and arrogance, and contrasts them with the eternal value of following God’s will. The verse warns against being consumed by earthly temptations, reminding believers that these things do not come from God but from the world, which will eventually fade away. However, those who live according to God’s will are promised eternal life.
