For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s.

[16] For everything in this world's system - the cravings for physical pleasure, the envy of others' possessions, and the pride of achievements and possessions - these don't come from the Father but from this broken world.Because all that is in the world—the craving of the flesh, the craving of the eyes, and the prideful pursuit of materialism and status—is not from the Abba Father, but is of the world.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
because all that is in the world—the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life—is not of the Father, but of the world,
