'Of the World' in the Bible

Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

For consider, brethren, who ye are that have been called; not many wise men after the fashion of the world, not many mighty, not many noble;

but the foolish things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the wise; and the weak things of the world did God choose, to put to shame the things which are strong;

and the mean things of the world, and the things which are despised, did God choose, the things which are not, to bring to nought things that are;

But we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that have been given to us by the grace of God;

being slandered, we exhort; we have become as the filth of the world, the offscouring of all things until now.

certainly not meaning the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and extortioners, or idolaters; for to do this ye must go out of the world.

but he that is married careth about the things of the world, how to please his wife.

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