'Of the World' in the Bible

So where is your philosopher? Where is your man of letters? Where is your logician of this age? Has not God shown up the nonsense of the world's wisdom?

When we are slandered by them, we try to conciliate them. To this very hour we have been made the filth of the world, the scum of the universe!

not that you are to stop all dealings with sexually immoral people of this world, any more than with its greedy graspers, or its idolaters, for then you would have to get clear out of the world.

A married man is concerned about the affairs of the world, and how he can please his wife, and so his devotion is divided.

An unmarried woman or a girl is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, so as to be consecrated in body and spirit, but a married woman is concerned about the affairs of the world, and how she can please her husband.
