'Of This World' in the Bible

He told them, "You are from below, I'm from above. You are of this world, but I'm not of this world.

Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.

I won't talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

However, when we are among mature people, we do speak a message of wisdom, but not the wisdom of this world or of the rulers of this world, who are passing off the scene.

None of the rulers of this world understood it, because if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.

For the wisdom of this world is nonsense in God's sight. For it is written, "He catches the wise with their own trickery,"

not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, greedy, robbers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.

But a married man is concerned about things of this world, that is, about how he can please his wife,

An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the affairs of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world, that is, about how she can please her husband. I'm saying this for your benefit, not to put a noose around your necks, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord.

In their case, the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe to keep them from seeing the light of the glorious gospel of the Messiah, who is the image of God.

You adulterers! Don't you know that friendship with the world means hostility with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God.
