| | The World & Worldy Pleasure |
| | | 1) | If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. |
| 2) | Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. |
| 3) | For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. |
| 4) | When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. |

| | 1) | From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? |
| 2) | Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. |
| 3) | Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. |
| 4) | Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. |
| 5) | Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? |
| 6) | But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. |
| 7) | Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
| 8) | Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. |

|
| | 3) | And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. |
| 4) | He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. |
| 5) | But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. |
| 6) | He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. |
| 15) | Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. |
| 16) | 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. |
| 17) | And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. |
|
|
|
| | 17) | He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. |
|
|
|
| | 18) | Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. |
| 19) | For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. |
| 20) | And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. |
