1 John 2:16-18

Contemporary English Version

¹⁶ Our foolish pride comes from this world, and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything we see. None of this comes from the Father. ¹⁷ The world and the desires it causes are disappearing. But if we obey God, we will live forever.

The Enemy of Christ

¹⁸ Children, this is the last hour. You heard that the enemy of Christ would appear at this time, and many of Christ's enemies have already appeared. So we know the last hour is here.
