And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. | The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. |
For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. | For no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. |
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. | Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. |
