1 John 2:15-17 CEV
(15) Don't love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you cannot love the Father. (16) Our foolish pride comes from this world, and so do our selfish desires and our desire to have everything we see. None of this comes from the Father. (17) The world and the desires it causes are disappearing. But if we obey God, we will live forever.

1 John 2:15-17 ALT
(15) Stop loving the world and the [things] in the world. If anyone is loving the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (16) Because all that [is] in the world-the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pretentious pride of life-is not from the Father _but_ is from the world. (17) And the world is passing away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the will of God remains into the age [fig., forever].

1 John 2:15-17 NWT
15 Do not be loving either the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him; 16 because everything in the world-the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the showy display of one's means of life-does not originate with the Father, but originates with the world. 17 Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does the will of God remains forever.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
