15μη αγαπατε τον κοσμον μηδε τα εν τω κοσμω εαν τις αγαπα
 
τον κοσμον ουκ  εστιν η αγαπη του πατρος εν αυτω

I came across this in  my translation studies tonight and I 
thought this was interesting. Take  notice of "the love of the Father"  
Is του πατρος a subjective or objective genitive? 
In other words does this verse mean, the love for the Father is not in the  
one who loves the world? (objective) 
or 
is the love the Father produces (perhaps the love to give grace, and hence  
eternal life) not in the one who loves the world? (subjective) 
What do you think?
