15 Do not love the world, nor the things which are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 Because all the things which are in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the self-importance of life, are not from the Father, but are from the world. 17 And the world is passing away and its lust, but he who is practicing the will of God abides forever.

1 John 2:3-6

3 And we know in this that we have known him; if we are keeping his commandments. 4 He who says, I have known him and is not keeping his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in this one; 5 but whoever is keeping his word, truly the love of God has been completed in this. We know in this that we are in him. 6 He who says he abides in him, he also ought to walk so; just-as that man walked.

Hebrews 10:26-27

26 For when we sin willfully after the receiving of the full knowledge of the truth, then a sacrifice is left no more for us concerning sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectancy of judgment and a zeal of fire which is about to eat the adversaries.

Romans 7:15-25

15 For I do not know what I am working. For I am doing this thing which I do not will but instead I am doing this thing which I am hating. 16 But if I am practicing this thing which I do not will, I assent together with the law; that it is good. 17 So now I no longer am working it, but the sin which is dwelling in me. 18 For I know what is a good thing is not dwelling in me, (that is, in my flesh); for it is laying beside me to will it, but I am not finding what is a good thing to work it. 19 For I am not practicing the good thing which I will, but instead I am doing this evil thing which I do not will. 20 But if I am practicing this thing which I do not will, I am no longer working it, but the sin which is dwelling in me. 21 Consequently, I find the law to me who is willing to practice the good thing–evil is laying beside me.
22 For I delight-inwardly in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I am seeing a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind and capturing me in the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O I am a miserable man! Who will rescue me out of the body of this death? 25 I am giving-thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore consequently, I myself, indeed, serve the law of God with the mind, but I serve the law of sin with the flesh.

1 John 3:6-10

6 Everyone who abides in him is not sinning. Everyone who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him. 7 Let no one mislead you, my little-children. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just-as that man is righteous. 8 He who is practicing sin is from the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning, to this end the Son of God was manifested, in order that he might tear-down the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who has been born from God does not practice sin, because his seed abides in him and he is not able to practice sin, because he has been born from God. 10 The children of God and the children of the devil are apparent in this, everyone who does not practice righteousness is not from God and he who does not love his brother.
