'Things' in the Bible

And we write these things in order that our joy may be made complete.

Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If any one loves the world, there is no love in his heart for the Father.

For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains within you, and there is no need for any one to teach you. But since His anointing gives you instruction in all things--and is true and is no falsehood--you are continuing in union with Him even as it has taught you to do.

and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

And since we know that He listens to us, then whatever we ask, we know that we have the things which we have asked from Him.
