1 John 2:17 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 2:17

Do Not Love the World

15 ^aDo not love the world or the things in the world. ^bIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, ^athe lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

17 And ^athe world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Deceptions of the Last Hour

18 ^aLittle children, ^bit is the last hour; and as you have heard that ^cthe Antichrist is coming, ^deven now many antichrists have come, by which we know ^ethat it is the last hour.

19 ^aThey went out from us, but they were not of us; for ^bif they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out ^cthat they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

20 But ^ayou have an anointing ^bfrom the Holy One, and ^cyou know all things.
