and he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but for those of the whole world besides.

Do not love the world or what the world can offer. When any one loves the world, there is no love for the Father in him;

for all that the world can offer--the gratification of the earthly nature, the gratification of the eye, the pretentious life--belongs, not to the Father, but to the world.

And the world, and all that it gratifies, is passing away, but he who does God's will remains for ever.

Think what love the Father has shown us in allowing us to be called 'Children of God'; as indeed we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it has not learned to know him.

Do not wonder, Brothers, if the world hates you.

Dear friends, do not trust every inspiration, but test each inspiration, to see whether it proceeds from God; because many false Prophets have gone out into the world.

while all inspiration that does not acknowledge Jesus is not inspiration from God. It is the inspiration of the Anti-Christ; you have heard that it was to come, and it is now already in the world.

You, my Children, come from God, and you have successfully resisted such men as these, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Those men belong to the world; and therefore they speak as the world speaks, and the world listens to them.

The love of God was revealed to us by his sending his only Son into the world, that we might find Life through him.

Moreover, our eyes have seen--and we are testifying to the fact--that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

It is through this that love has attained its perfection in us, so that we may have confidence on the Day of Judgment, because what Christ is that we also are in this world.

because all that has received the new Life from God conquers the world. And this is the power that has conquered the world--our faith!

Who is he that conquers the world but the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

We realize that we come from God, while all the world is under the influence of the Evil One.
