1 John 2:15–17

“The pride of life, then, could be described as an arrogant pride that one places in one’s possessions or overall situation in this present life. It is a satisfaction in temporary possessions and the benefits they afford instead of satisfaction in knowing, loving, and obeying God” - P&D

“John—in his typical black-and-white style—asserts that loving the Father and loving the world are mutually exclusive. You can’t love both simultaneously.”
