'World' in the Bible

and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

because all that is in the world (the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the arrogance produced by material possessions) is not from the Father, but is from the world.

And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains forever.

(See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called God's children -- and indeed we are! For this reason the world does not know us: because it did not know him.

Therefore do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.

You are from God, little children, and have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world's perspective and the world listens to them.

By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God has sent his one and only Son into the world so that we may live through him.

And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world.

because This is the conquering power that has conquered the world: our faith.

Now who is the person who has conquered the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
