friendship with the world

John Chapter 15:19

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Romans Chapter 12:2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

James Chapter 1:27

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

James Chapter 4:1

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

James Chapter 4:2

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.

James Chapter 4:3

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

James Chapter 4:4

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.

James Chapter 4:5

Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

James Chapter 4:6

But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

James Chapter 4:7

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James Chapter 4:8

Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

James Chapter 4:9

Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

James Chapter 4:10

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

James Chapter 4:11

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

James Chapter 4:12

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

James Chapter 4:13

Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

James Chapter 4:14

Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

James Chapter 4:15

For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

James Chapter 4:16

But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

James Chapter 4:17

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

2 Peter Chapter 1:1

Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2 Peter Chapter 1:2

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

2 Peter Chapter 1:3

According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

2 Peter Chapter 1:4

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

2 Peter Chapter 1:5

And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;

2 Peter Chapter 1:6

And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;

2 Peter Chapter 1:7

And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.

2 Peter Chapter 1:8

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Peter Chapter 1:9

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

2 Peter Chapter 1:10

Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

2 Peter Chapter 1:11

For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

2 Peter Chapter 1:12

Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

2 Peter Chapter 1:13

Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

2 Peter Chapter 1:14

Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

2 Peter Chapter 1:15

Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

2 Peter Chapter 1:16

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

2 Peter Chapter 1:17

For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

2 Peter Chapter 1:18

And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

2 Peter Chapter 1:19

We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

2 Peter Chapter 1:20

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

2 Peter Chapter 1:21

For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2 Peter Chapter 2:1

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1 John Chapter 2:1

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

1 John Chapter 2:2

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

1 John Chapter 2:3

And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.

1 John Chapter 2:4

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John Chapter 2:5

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

1 John Chapter 2:6

He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John Chapter 2:7

Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.

1 John Chapter 2:8

Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

1 John Chapter 2:9

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John Chapter 2:10

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John Chapter 2:11

But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

1 John Chapter 2:12

I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake.

1 John Chapter 2:13

I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

1 John Chapter 2:14

I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1 John Chapter 2:15

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.

1 John Chapter 2:16

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.

1 John Chapter 2:17

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John Chapter 2:18

Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John Chapter 2:19

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

1 John Chapter 2:20

But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

1 John Chapter 2:21

I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

1 John Chapter 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1 John Chapter 2:23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

1 John Chapter 2:24

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

1 John Chapter 2:25

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

1 John Chapter 2:26

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

1 John Chapter 2:27

But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

1 John Chapter 2:28

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

1 John Chapter 2:29

If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1 John Chapter 3:1

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

1 John Chapter 3:2

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

1 John Chapter 3:3

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

1 John Chapter 3:4

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1 John Chapter 3:5

And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

1 John Chapter 3:6

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

1 John Chapter 3:7

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1 John Chapter 3:8

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John Chapter 3:9

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John Chapter 3:10

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1 John Chapter 3:11

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

1 John Chapter 3:12

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

1 John Chapter 3:13

Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

1 John Chapter 3:14

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

1 John Chapter 3:15

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John Chapter 3:16

Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John Chapter 3:17

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

1 John Chapter 3:18

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

1 John Chapter 3:19

And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

1 John Chapter 3:20

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

1 John Chapter 3:21

Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

1 John Chapter 3:22

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

1 John Chapter 3:23

And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

1 John Chapter 3:24

And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1 John Chapter 5:19

And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
