<p>2:15 <em>Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him</em>- &quot;In the world&quot; is the very phrase used of how the Lord was in the Jewish world, but rejected by it (Jn. 1:10; 9:5; 13:1; 16:33; 17:11-13). There could be no compromise between the Jewish world and the Christian; for the Jews hated the Christians, and to be part with them was to be involved in hating ones' Christian brother. And in this case, the love of the Father would not be in them.</p>
