'Of the World' in the Bible

But the foolish things of the world, has God chosen that he might shame the wise; and the weak things of the world has God chosen that he might shame things strong;

And the ignoble things of the world, and the despised things, has God chosen, and things not being, that the things being he might leave unemployed:

And we have not received the spirit of the world, but the spirit from God; that we might know things bestowed upon us as a gift by God.

Being defamed, we entreat: as the filth of the world were we become, the offscouring of all until now.

And not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.

And he married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

The wife and virgin have been divided. The unmarried cares for the things of the Lord, that she might be holy also in body and spirit: and she married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please her husband.
