'Of the World' in the Bible

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are:

Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the trash of all things unto this day.

Yet not entirely with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must you needs go out of the world.

But he that is married cares for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.

There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
