“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” ~ St John 3:16

“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.” ~ I John 2:15
