'Of This World' in the Bible

God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness";

not at all meaning the immoral people of this world, or with the greedy and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

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.
