'World' in the Bible

“Now, Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to leave [this world] in peace,According to Your word;

Then he led Jesus up [to a high mountain] and displayed before Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth [and their magnificence] in the twinkling of an eye.

For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world [wealth, fame, success], and loses or forfeits himself?

so that charges may be brought against this generation [holding them responsible] for the blood of all the prophets shed since the foundation of the world,

For all the [pagan] nations of the world greedily seek these things; and your [heavenly] Father [already] knows that you need them.

who will not receive many times as much in this present age and in the age to come, eternal life.”

Jesus said to them, “The sons of this [world and present] age marry and [the women] are given in marriage;

but those who are considered worthy to gain that [other world and that future] age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;

people fainting from fear and expectation of the [dreadful] things coming on the world; for the [very] powers of the heavens will be shaken.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.
