'World' in the Bible

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

For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes his eternal power and divine nature have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

Of course not! Otherwise, how could God judge the world?

Now we know that whatever the Law says applies to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the Law, but through the righteousness produced by faith.

Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death resulted from sin, therefore everyone dies, because everyone has sinned.

Certainly sin was in the world before the Law was given, but no record of sin is kept when there is no Law.

But I ask, "Didn't they hear?" Certainly they did! In fact, "Their voice has gone out into the whole world, and their words to the ends of the earth."

Now if their stumbling means riches for the world, and if their fall means riches for the gentiles, how much more will their full participation mean!

For if their rejection results in reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance bring but life from the dead?

Do not be conformed to this world, but continuously be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.
