'Of the World' in the Bible

Where [is] the wise person? Where [is] the scribe? Where [is] the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

But the foolish [things] of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the wise, and the weak [things] of the world God chose in order that he might put to shame the strong,

and the insignificant of the world, and the despised, God chose, the things that are not, in order that he might abolish the things that are,

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who [is] from God, in order that we may know the things freely given to us by God,

[when we are] slandered, we encourage. We have become like the refuse of the world, the offscouring of all [things], until now.

By no means [did I mean] the sexually immoral people of this world or the greedy people and swindlers or idolaters, since then you would have to depart out of the world.

and those who make use of the world as [if they] do not make full use of [it]. For the present form of this world is passing away.

But the one who is married cares for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

and he is divided. And the unmarried woman or the virgin cares for the things of the Lord, in order that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But the married woman cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
