1 John 2:17
1 John 2:17 New International Version (NIV)
The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:17 New Living Translation (NLT)
And this world is fading away, along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what pleases God will live forever.
1 John 2:15-17 The Message (MSG)
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
1 John 2:17 King James Version (KJV)
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:17 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:17 New Century Version (NCV)
The world and everything that people want in it are passing away, but the person who does what God wants lives forever.
1 John 2:17 American Standard Version (ASV)
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
1 John 2:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)
The world is passing away, and with it its lusts [the shameful pursuits and ungodly longings]; but the one who does the will of God and carries out His purposes lives forever.
