The Clouds Of Heaven

          Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy  and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

             Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the  freindship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 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. 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. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Behold, what manner of love the Father hast bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

             Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.
