'World' in the Bible

Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.

For everything that is in the world the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance is not from the Father but is from the world.

And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God's will remains forever.

See what kind of love the Father has given us: We are called God's children and that is what we are! For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him, either.

So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.

Dear friends, stop believing every spirit. Instead, test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

But every spirit who does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist. You have heard that he is coming, and now he is already in the world.

Little children, you belong to God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

These people belong to the world. That is why they speak from the world's perspective, and the world listens to them.

This is how God's love was revealed among us: God sent his unique Son into the world so that we might live through him.

We have seen for ourselves and can testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

This is how love has been perfected among us: we will have confidence on the day of judgment because, during our time in this world, we are just like him.

because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one.
