1 JOHN 2:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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.”
For all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions — is not from the Father but is from the world — the triad (sarx epithymia, ophthalmon epithymia, bios alazonia) encompasses sensual lust, visual covetousness, and materialistic pride. All three represent false sources of meaning against divine truth. None originates from God; all belong to the world system.
