'Of the World' in the Bible

The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world,

and said to the woman, Now we believe, not merely on account of thy relation: for we ourselves have heard, and know that this is of a certainty the Saviour of the world, the Messiah.

I am the bread that giveth life, which came down from heaven: if any person eat of this bread, he shall live to eternity; and the bread indeed which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

From the creation of the world hath it never been heard, that any man opened the eyes of one born blind.

If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have elected you out of the world, for this very cause the world hateth you.

I have made known thy name to the persons whom thou gavest me out of the world: for thee they had a being, and to me thou hast given them; and thy word have they kept.

I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I entreat not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest preserve them from the wicked one.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Father, those whom thou hast given me, I will that where I am they may also be with me; that they may behold my glory, which thou gavest me: because thou hast loved me before the foundation of the world.
