'World' in the Bible

The true light, who gives light to every person, was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world came into being through him, and the world did not recognize him.

On the next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, "Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.

And this is the judgment: that the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.

And they were saying to the woman, "No longer because of {what you said} do we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is truly the Savior of the world!"

Now [when] the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say, "This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!"

For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live {forever}. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

For no one does anything in secret and [yet] he himself desires to be {publicly recognized}. If you are doing these [things], reveal yourself to the world!"

The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it, that its deeds are evil.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

And he said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

And Jesus said,]] "For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind!"

do you say about [he] whom the Father set apart and sent into the world, 'You are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'?

Jesus replied, Are [there] not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks around in the daylight, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who comes into the world."

So the Pharisees said to one another, "You see that you are accomplishing nothing! Behold, the world has gone after him."

The one who loves his life loses it, and the one who hates his life in this world preserves it for eternal life.

Now is the judgment of this world! Now the ruler of this world will be thrown out!

I have come [as] a light into the world, in order that everyone who believes in me will not remain in the darkness.

And if anyone hears my words and does not observe [them], I will not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end.

the Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see him or know [him]. You know him, because he resides with you and will be in you.

Yet a little [time] and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you--not as the world gives, I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let [them] be afraid.

I will no longer speak much with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has {no power} {over} me.

But so that the world may know that I love the Father, and just as the Father has commanded me, thus I am doing. Get up, let us go from here!

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before [it hated] you.

If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, for this [reason] the world hates you.

And [when he] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:

and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been condemned.

Truly, truly I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will become sorrowful, but your sorrow will change to joy.

A woman, when she gives birth, experiences pain because her hour has come. But when [her] child is born, she no longer remembers the affliction, on account of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.

I have gone out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."

I have said these [things] to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction, but have courage! I have conquered the world."

And now, Father, you glorify me {at your side} with the glory that I had {at your side} before the world existed.

"I have revealed your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you have given them to me, and they have kept your word.

I am asking on behalf of them. I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you have given me, because they are yours,

And I am no longer in the world, and they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given to me, so that they may be one, just as we [are].

And now I am coming to you, and I am saying these [things] in the world so that they may have my joy completed in themselves.

I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world just as I am not of the world.

I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.

They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.

Just as you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

that they all may be one, just as you, Father, [are] in me and I [am] in you, that they also may be in us, in order that the world may believe that you sent me.

I in them, and you in me, in order that they may be completed in one, so that the world may know that you sent me, and you have loved them just as you have loved me.

"Father, [those] whom you have given to me--I want that those also may be with me where I am, in order that they may see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, although the world does not know you, yet I have known you, and these [men] have come to know that you sent me.

Jesus replied to him, "I have spoken openly to the world. I always taught in the synagogue and in the temple [courts] where all the Jews assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.

Jesus replied, "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews. But now my kingdom is not from here."

Then Pilate said to him, "So then you are a king!" Jesus replied, "You say that I am a king. For this [reason] I was born, and for this reason I have come into the world: in order that I can testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."

Now there are also many other [things] that Jesus did, which--if they were written down one after the other--I suppose not even the world itself could contain the books that would be written.
