'World' in the Bible

For since, in God’s wisdom, the world did not know God through wisdom, God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of the message preached.

Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we may understand what has been freely given to us by God.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness;

whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come—everything is yours,

For I think God has displayed us, the apostles, in last place, like men condemned to die: We have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men.

I did not mean the immoral people of this world or the greedy and swindlers or idolaters; otherwise you would have to leave the world.

Or don’t you know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest cases?

and those who use the world as though they did not make full use of it. For this world in its current form is passing away.

But a married man is concerned about the things of the world—how he may please his wife—

About eating food offered to idols, then, we know that “an idol is nothing in the world,” and that “there is no God but one.”

but when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we may not be condemned with the world.

There are doubtless many different kinds of languages in the world, and all have meaning.
