'World' in the Bible
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom knew not God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching to save them that believe.
but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, did God choose, yea and the things that are not, that he might bring to nought the things that are:
We speak wisdom, however, among them that are fullgrown: yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nought:
which none of the rulers of this world hath known: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory:
But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;
For, I think, God hath set forth us the apostles last of all, as men doomed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, both to angels and men.
being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things, even until now.
not at all meaning with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous and extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world:
Or know ye not that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world is judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
and those that use the world, as not using it to the full: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
but he that is married is careful for the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
and is divided.'so also the woman that is unmarried and the virgin is careful for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married is careful for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one.
But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and no kind is without signification.
