1 John 2:16 in Context — 1 John 2

14 Eu vos escrevi, pais, porque conheceis aquele que é desde o princípio. Eu vos escrevi, jovens, porque sois fortes, a palavra de Deus está em vós, e vencestes o maligno.

15 Não ameis o mundo, nem as coisas que há no mundo. Se alguém ama o mundo, o amor do Pai não está nele.

16 Pois tudo o que há no mundo, a cobiça da carne, a cobiça dos olhos, e a ostentação da vida, não é do Pai, mas do mundo.

17 O mundo passa, e também a sua cobiça; mas aquele que faz a vontade de Deus permanece para sempre.

18 Filhinhos, é a última hora. E como ouvistes que o anticristo vem, já agora muitos anticristos chegaram. Por isso sabemos que é a última hora.
