'World' in the Bible

where is the wise? where the scribe? where a disputer of this age? did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world?

for, seeing in the wisdom of God the world through the wisdom knew not God, it did please God through the foolishness of the preaching to save those believing.

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, that the wise He may put to shame; and the weak things of the world did God choose that He may put to shame the strong;

and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

And we the spirit of the world did not receive, but the Spirit that is of God, that we may know the things conferred by God on us,

for the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, for it hath been written, 'Who is taking the wise in their craftiness;'

whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things about to be -- all are yours,

for I think that God did set forth us the apostles last -- as appointed to death, because a spectacle we became to the world, and messengers, and men;

being spoken evil of, we entreat; as filth of the world we did become -- of all things an offscouring -- till now.

and not certainly with the whoremongers of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, seeing ye ought then to go forth out of the world --

have ye not known that the saints shall judge the world? and if by you the world is judged, are ye unworthy of the smaller judgments?

and those using this world, as not using it up; for passing away is the fashion of this world.

and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

The wife and the virgin have been distinguished: the unmarried is anxious for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit, and the married is anxious for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.

Concerning the eating then of the things sacrificed to idols, we have known that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God except one;

and being judged by the Lord, we are chastened, that with the world we may not be condemned;

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is unmeaning,
