1 John 2:
15Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
If anyone loves the world...Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? James 4:4,5.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh...For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. Romans 8:13,14.
...the lust of the eyes...Incline my heart to Your testimonies, And not to covetousness. Turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things, And revive me in Your way. Psalm 119:36,37.
...and the pride of life...The fear of the LORD is to hate evil; Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate. Proverbs 8:13.
...but he who does the will of God abides forever...Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever. Psalm 125:1.

without guile, Pilgrim and I are not the same person - simple as that! I have chatted to him on Paltalk and enjoyed his Pilgrim's Path website, but I am not him.
