'World' in the Bible

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you because the news of your faith is being reported in all the world.

For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.

Absolutely not! Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment.

For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would inherit the world was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.

In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to a person’s account when there is no law.

But I ask, “Did they not hear?” Yes, they did:Their voice has gone out to all the earth,and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.

Now if their stumbling brings riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full number bring!

For if their rejection brings reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?
