'Of the World' in the Bible

For from the creation of the world, his invisible [attributes], both his eternal power and deity, are discerned clearly, being understood in the things created, so that they are without excuse.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants, [that] he would be heir of the world, [was] not through the law, but through the righteousness by faith.

For if their rejection [means] the reconciliation of the world, what [will] their acceptance [mean] except life from the dead?
