1 John 2:15-17 – "Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the worldβ€”the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of lifeβ€”comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever."

Romans 8:5-6 – "Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace."
