1 John 2:16 in Context — 1 John 2

14 Je vous ai écrit, pères, parce que vous avez connu celui qui est dès le commencement. Je vous ai écrit, jeunes gens, parce que vous êtes forts, et que la parole de Dieu demeure en vous, et que vous avez vaincu le malin.

15 N’aimez point le monde, ni les choses qui sont dans le monde. Si quelqu’un aime le monde, l’amour du Père n’est point en lui;

16 car tout ce qui est dans le monde, la convoitise de la chair, la convoitise des yeux, et l’orgueil de la vie, ne vient point du Père, mais vient du monde.

17 Et le monde passe, et sa convoitise aussi; mais celui qui fait la volonté de Dieu demeure éternellement.

18 Petits enfants, c’est la dernière heure, et comme vous avez appris qu’un antéchrist vient, il y a maintenant plusieurs antéchrists: par là nous connaissons que c’est la dernière heure.
