'Worldly' in the Bible

For the reason for our boasting is this--the testimony of our own conscience that it was in holiness and with pure motives before God, and in reliance not on worldly wisdom but on the gracious help of God, that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and above all in our relations with you.

So then, was I indecisive or capricious when I was [originally] planning this? Or the things I plan, do I plan in a self-serving way like a worldly man, ready to say, “Yes, yes” and “No, no” [at the same time]?

For godly grief produces a repentance not to be regretted and leading to salvation, but worldly grief produces death.

I ask that when I do come I will not be driven to the boldness that I intend to show toward those few who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh [like men without the Spirit].

For, though we are still living in the world, it is no worldly warfare that we are waging.

Since many boast [of worldly things and brag] about human accomplishments, I will boast too.
