'World' in the Bible

The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

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

For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

They said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

I am the living bread which came down out of heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. Yes, the bread which I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."

For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."

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

Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment, that those who don't see may see; and that those who see may become blind."

do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

Jesus answered, "Aren't there twelve hours of daylight? If a man walks in the day, he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.

She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, God's Son, he who comes into the world."

The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him."

He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.

Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.

I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.

If anyone listens to my sayings, and doesn't believe, I don't judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

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

the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

Yet a little while, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, what has happened that you are about 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, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.

I will no more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and he has nothing in me.

But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, 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, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;

about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.

Most certainly I tell you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice. You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn't remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is born into the world.

I came out from the Father, and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world, and go to the Father."

I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."

Now, Father, glorify me with your own self with the glory which I had with you before the world existed.

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

I pray for them. I don't pray for the world, but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.

I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them through your name which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are.

While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you have given me I have kept. None of them is lost, except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

But now I come to you, and I say these things in the world, that they may have my joy made full in themselves.

I have given them your word. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.

They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.

As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.

that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me.

I in them, and you in me, that they may be perfected into one; that the world may know that you sent me, and loved them, even as you loved me.

Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me be with me where I am, that they may see my glory, which you have given me, for you loved me before the foundation of the world.

Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.

Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues, and in the temple, where the Jews always meet. I said nothing in secret.

Jesus answered, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If my Kingdom were of this world, then my servants would fight, that I wouldn't be delivered to the Jews. But now my Kingdom is not from here."

Pilate therefore said to him, "Are you a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this reason I have been born, and for this reason I have come into the world, that I should testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."

There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn't have room for the books that would be written.
