'World' in the Bible
Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,
and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, “He is the one who catches 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 things belong to you,
For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.
when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.
I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.
Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world? If the world is judged by you, are you not competent to constitute the smallest law courts?
and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.
but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,
and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
Therefore concerning the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that there is no such thing as an idol in the world, and that there is no God but one.
But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.
There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.
