'Of the World' in the Bible

As he hath chosen us through him, before the foundation of the world, that we might be holy and blameless before him in love,

And to let all men see, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which was hidden from the beginning of the world by God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world, of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.
