[B-Greek] 2 John 2:15

Dony, I think you meant 1 John 2:15 not 2 John which only has one chapter. I
think #2 is the best rendering because TA is a neuter plural accusative. I
take it as acting as a substantive here referring to "the things". #1 would
need  a demonstrative TAUTA for the translation "these".

I have a question about the rendering of the plural definite article TA in 2
John 2:15
TA EN TU KOSMU

I see two possible optiosn here:
1. nor these in the world
2. nor the things in the world

with an accent in the second one on the exclusion of "beings"
Which one would be a better rendering?
Thanks.
