    1John 2:15-17 . . .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.

    II Peter 3

    "10": But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

    "11": Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

    "12": Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

    this sounds scary

    2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

    2Pe 3:11 Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness,

    2Pe 3:12 waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn!

    Psa 102:25 Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.

    Psa 102:26 They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away,

    Psa 102:27 but you are the same, and your years have no end.

    hope these help

    Those who use the things of the world should not become attached to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away.

    For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. As the Scriptures say,

    “People are like grass;

    their beauty is like a flower in the field.

    The grass withers and the flower fades.

    But the word of the Lord remains forever.”

    That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

    We are all infected and impure with sin.

    When we display our righteous deeds,

    they are nothing but filthy rags.

    Like autumn leaves, we wither and fall,

    and our sins sweep us away like the wind.

    Yet no one calls on your name

    or pleads with you for mercy.

    Therefore, you have turned away from us

    and turned us over to our sins.

    ther are more than these 2 but these are the best ones...

    Psalm 102:25-26

    In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,

    and the heavens are the work of your hands.

    They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded.

    Isaiah 51:6

    Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail.
