'Of the World' in the Bible

Where is the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this life? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world has God chosen to put to shame the mighty,

and the ignoble things of the world and things that are despised has God chosen, and things that are not, to destroy things that are,

And we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things given us by God,

being defamed we entreat; we are made like the offscouring of the world and the vilest of all things, even till now.

not altogether the fornicators of this world, or the covetous and rapacious, or idolaters, since then you would have to go out of the world.

but he that is married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife.

And the wife and the virgin are different; the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband.
