Mundo
A Bíblia tem muito a dizer sobre o mundo e nossa relação com ele. Cristãos estão no mundo, mas não são do mundo — chamados a ser luz e sal sem se conformar com os padrões seculares.
Não ameis o mundo
Não ameis o mundo nem o que nele há. A cobiça da carne, a cobiça dos olhos e a soberba da vida não vêm do Pai, mas do mundo.
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16 Because everything that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not from the Father but is from the world.
16 Because everything that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not from the Father but is from the world.
17 And the world is passing away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world is constituted an enemy of God.

O amor de Deus pelo mundo
Porque Deus amou o mundo de tal maneira que deu seu Filho. O mesmo mundo que rejeita a Deus é amado por Ele e objeto de sua redenção.
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness more than the light, because their works were evil.
2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not only concerning ours, but also concerning [those] of the whole world.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.

Vencer o mundo
Jesus venceu o mundo e nos dá sua paz e vitória. A fé é a vitória que vence o mundo — e aquele que nasceu de Deus o vence.
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."
33 These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation; but have courage, I have overcome the world."
4 because everything having been born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world-your faith.
4 because everything having been born of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world-your faith.
5 Who is he that overcomes the world, if not he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 You are of God, little children, and you have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
No mundo sem ser do mundo
Jesus orou: não peço que os tires do mundo, mas que os guardes do mal. Somos enviados ao mundo como embaixadores do Reino.
14 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.
15 I do not ask that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil [one].
15 I do not ask that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil [one].16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.17 Sanctify them by Your truth; Your word is truth.18 Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
25 O righteous Father! Indeed the world did not know You, yet I knew You; and these knew that You sent Me.26 And I made known to them Your name, and I will make it known, so that the love [with] which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."
31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world shall be cast out.
27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
Sal e luz
Vós sois o sal da terra e a luz do mundo. O cristão transforma o ambiente onde está, sem se conformar com os padrões mundanos.
13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt becomes tasteless, with what shall it be salted? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and to be trampled underfoot by men.14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.
14 And this good news of the kingdom will be proclaimed in all the world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
26 For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give [as] an exchange for his soul?

7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man through whom the offense comes!
15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.
15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to all creation.
36 For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?
Não se conformar
Não vos conformeis com este mundo. A religião pura é guardar-se da corrupção do mundo e viver segundo o Espírito de Deus.
2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and well pleasing and perfect will of God.

20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of[ ]the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and divinity, so that they are without excuse.

19 Now we know that as many things as the law says, it speaks to those under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and [the] Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

11 For the saving grace of God has appeared to all men,12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age,
A batalha espiritual
A nossa luta não é contra carne e sangue. Os poderes do mundo são reais, mas o que está em nós é maior que o que está no mundo.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual [forces] of evil in the heavenlies.
8 Beware lest anyone captures you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.
12 Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, in order that we might know the things freely given to us by God;
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, God was well pleased, through the foolishness of our preaching, to save those that believe.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world in order that He might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world in order that He might humiliate the mighty[.]
28 And the lowly things of the world, and the despised things God has chosen, and the things which are not, in order that He might nullify the things which are,29 so that no man may boast before God.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that neither can we carry anything out!8 But having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content.

Pertencemos a Deus
Do Senhor é a terra e tudo o que nela existe. Vivemos neste mundo como peregrinos, desejando a pátria celestial.
9 That was the true Light which lightens every man coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him.
10 He was in the world, and the world came to be through Him, and the world did not know Him.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He that follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.28 And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.
7 Nevertheless I speak the truth to you. It is profitable for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.8 And when He comes, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me;10 of righteousness, because I am going to My Father and you see Me no more;11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
4 through which have been given to us precious and exceedingly great promises, so that through these we may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
3 knowing this first: that mockers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts,4 and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers died, all things continue as from the beginning of creation."5 For this they willingly forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and [the] earth, consisting out of water and through water,6 by which the world at that time perished, being flooded by water;7 but the present heavens and earth, having been stored up by His word, are being reserved for fire until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
10 For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, without regret; but worldly sorrow produces death.
13 Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.
19 We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies [under the sway] of the evil [one].
31 The heaven and the earth shall pass away, but My words will by no means pass away.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
50 But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, "Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be healed."
17 For if by the transgression of the one man death reigned through the one [man], much more those receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ).
