'Belong' in the Bible

Do not love the world or the things that belong to the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him.

They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.

This is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to keep ourselves strong in his presence.

Little children, you belong to God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

These people belong to the world. That is why they speak from the world's perspective, and the world listens to them.

We belong to God. The person who knows God listens to us. Whoever does not belong to God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.
