'World' in the Bible

This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

"For this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

Because God sent the Son into the world, not to condemn the world, but that the world would be saved through him.

And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.

They kept telling the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, because now we have heard him ourselves, and we know that he really is the Savior of the world."

When the people saw the sign that he had done, they kept saying, "Truly this is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

I'm the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he'll live forever. And the bread I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify against it that its actions are evil.

Later on, Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

He told them, "You are from below, I'm from above. You are of this world, but I'm not of this world.

Jesus told them, "What have I been telling you all along? I have much to say about you and to condemn you for. But the one who sent me is truthful, and what I've heard from him I declare to the world."

As long as I'm in the world, I'm the light of the world."

Then Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge it, so that those who are blind may see and so that those who see may become blind."

how can you say to the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world, "You're blaspheming,' because I said, "I'm the Son of God'?

Jesus replied, "There are twelve hours in the day, aren't there? If anyone walks during the day he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

"Yes, Lord," she told him. "I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one who was to come into the world."

Then the Pharisees told one another, "You see, there is nothing you can do. Look, the world has gone after him!"

The one who loves his life will destroy it, and the one who hates his life in this world will preserve it for eternal life.

Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin. Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.

I've come into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me won't remain in the darkness.

If anyone hears my words and doesn't keep them, I don't condemn him, because I didn't come to condemn the world, but to save it.

Now before the Passover Festival, Jesus realized that his hour had come to leave this world and return to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.

He is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor recognizes him. But you recognize him, because he lives with you and will be in you.

"In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Judas (not Iscariot) asked him, "Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

I'm leaving you at peace. I'm giving you my own peace. I'm not giving it to you as the world gives. So don't let your hearts be troubled, and don't be afraid.

I won't talk with you much longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no power over me.

But I'm doing what the Father has commanded me, to let the world know that I love the Father. Get up! Let us leave this place."

"If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.

If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as one of its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it, the world hates you.

When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment

and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

Truly, I tell all of you emphatically, you'll cry and mourn, but the world will rejoice. You'll be deeply distressed, but your pain will turn into joy.

When a woman is in labor she has pain, because her time has come. Yet when she has given birth to her child, she doesn't remember the agony anymore because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.

I left the Father and came into the world. Now I'm leaving the world and going back to the Father."

I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you'll have trouble, but be courageous I've overcome the world!"

"So now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world existed.

I have made your name known to these men whom you gave me from the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

"I am asking on their behalf. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those you gave me, because they are yours.

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by your Name, the Name that you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one.

"And now I am coming to you, and I say these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

I'm not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.

They don't belong to the world, just as I don't belong to the world.

Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

so that they may all be one. Just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be one in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me.

I am in them, and you are in me. May they be completely one, so that the world may know that you sent me and that you have loved them as you loved me.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory, which you gave me because you loved me before the creation of the world.

"Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the Temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered, "My kingdom does not belong to this world. If my kingdom belonged to this world, my servants would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But for now my kingdom is not from here."

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."

Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down, the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.
