'Of the World' in the Bible

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:

And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.

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

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and off-scouring of all things to this day.

But not altogether with the lewd persons of this world, or the covetous, or the rapacious, or idolaters, for then ye must go out of the world.

But the married careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.

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