1 John 2:15-16

Love not the world; to love the world, and the things that are in the world, is to make them our treasure, and put our trust in them, instead of in God. Compare Mt 6:19-24. Is not of the Father; does not come from him, and is not on his side, but stands in opposition to him. He created the world, and gave it to men to be used in his service, not to be abused as the minister of fleshly lust.

Is of the world; comes from the world as the nourisher of earthly lust, and is opposed to God, and his service.
