As you died with Christ to the Elemental spirits of the world, why live as if you still belonged to the world? Why submit to rules and regulations like

Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, like the high priest entering the holy place every year with blood that was not his own: ??26 for in that case he would have had to suffer repeatedly, ever since the world was founded. Nay, once for all, at the end of the world, he has appeared with his self-sacrifice to abolish sin.

Then I saw issuing from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the Beast and from the mouth of the false Prophet, three foul spirits like frogs ??14 demon-spirits performing miracles, who come out to muster the kings of the whole world for battle on the great Day of almighty God.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love what it owned; it is because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you from the world, that the world hates you.

For it seems to me that God means us apostles to come in at the very end, like the doomed gladiators in the arena! We are made a spectacle to the world, to angels and to men!

so as to be blameless and innocent, faultless children of God in a crooked and perverse generation where you shine like stars in a dark world;

He said to them, "You are from the world below, I am from the world above: you belong to this world, I do not belong to this world.

I have given them thy word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

he entered the world ??the world which existed through him ??yet the world did not recognize him;

Love not the world, nor yet what is in the world; if anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

They belong to the world, therefore they speak as inspired by the world, and the world listens to them:

When I am in the world, I am light for the world."

Now is this world to be judged; now the Prince of this world will be expelled.

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, it is not I who judge him; for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world.

Now before the passover festival Jesus knew the time had come for him to pass from this world to the Father. He had loved his own in this world and he loved them to the end;

From the Father I came and I entered the world; again, I leave the world and I go to the Father."

I have said all this to you that in me you may have peace; in the world you have trouble, but courage! I have conquered the world.

I am to be in the world no longer, but they are to be in the world; I come to thee. Holy Father, keep them by the power of thy Name which thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are one.

They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

As thou hast sent me into the world, so have I sent them into the world,

Jesus replied, "My realm does not belong to this world; if my realm did belong to this world, my men would have fought to prevent me being handed over to the Jews. No, my realm lies elsewhere."

who does not receive ever so much more in this present world, and in the world to come life eternal."

who does not get a hundred times as much ??in this present world homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and lands, together with persecutions, and in the world to come life eternal.

God did not send his Son into the world to pass sentence on it, but to save the world by him.

Whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the holy Spirit will never be forgiven, neither in this world nor in the world to come.

Sage, scribe, critic of this world, where are they all? Has not God stultified the wisdom of the world?

No, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame what is strong;

We do discuss 'wisdom' with those who are mature; only it is not the wisdom of this world or of the dethroned Powers who rule this world,

I did not mean you were literally to avoid contact with the immoral in this world, with the lustful and the thievish, or with idolaters; in that case you would have to leave the world altogether.

Do you not know the saints are to manage the world? If the world is to come under your jurisdiction, are you incompetent to adjudicate upon trifles?

(Wanton creatures! do you not know that the world's friendship means enmity to God? Whoever, then, chooses to be the world's friend, turns enemy to God.

if he did not spare the ancient world but kept Noah, the herald of righteousness, safe with seven others, when he let loose the deluge on the world of impious men:

For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the proud glory of life, belongs not to the Father but to the world;

for whatever is born of God conquers the world. Our faith, that is the conquest which conquers the world.

But no boasting for me, none except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I crucified to the world.

I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise like serpents and guileless like doves.

Have we no right to travel with a Christian wife, like the rest of the apostles, like the brothers of the Lord, like Cephas himself?

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I argued like a child; now that I am a man, I am done with childish ways.

I am, for I am not like most, adulterating the word of God; like a man of sincerity, like a man of God, I speak the word in Christ before the very presence of God.
