'Of This World' in the Bible
However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.
None of the rulers of this world understood it, because if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.
For the wisdom of this world is nonsense in God's sight. For it is written, "He catches the wise with their own trickery,"
not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.
But a married man is concerned about things of this world, that is, about how he can please his wife,
An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, that is, about how she can please her husband. I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.
