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 Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.
15 Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.16 For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.

17 And the world and its desires are fading away, but the person who does God's will remains forever.
4 You adulterers! Don't you know that friendship with the world means hostility with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is 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 this is how God loved the world: He gave his unique Son so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but have eternal life.

19 And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.
2 It is he who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world's.
1 See what kind of love the Father has given us in letting us be called God's children! Yet that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him either.

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 Ihave told you this so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous—I have overcome the world!"
33 Ihave told you this so that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have trouble, but be courageous—I have overcome the world!"
4 because everyone who is born from God has overcome the world. Our faith is the victory that overcomes the world.

5 Who overcomes the world? Is it not the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 Little children, you belong to God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one 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, for they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.
15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world but to protect them from the evil one.16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.17 Sanctify them by the truth. Your word is truth.18 Just as you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.
25 "Righteous Father, the world has never known you. Yet I have known you, and these men have known that you sent me.26 I made your name known to them, and will continue to make it known, so that the love you have for memay be in them and I myself may be in them."
31 Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin.Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
27 I am leaving peace with you. I am giving you my own peace. I am not giving it to you as the world gives. So do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
18 "If the world hates you, you should realize that it hated me before you.19 If you belonged to the world, the world would love you as its own. But because you do not belong to the world and I have chosen you out of it,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 world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the world as a testimony to all nations,and then the end will come."
26 For what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what can a person give in exchange for his life?

7 How terrible it will be for the world because it causes people to sin! Temptations to sin are bound to happen, but how terrible it will be for that person who causes someone to sin!
15 Then he said to them,"As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
15 Then he said to them,"As you go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.
36 For what profit will a person have if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?
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 Do not be conformed to this world, but continually be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you may be able to determine what God's will is—what is proper, pleasing, and perfect.

20 For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes—his eternal power and divine nature—have been understood and observed by what he made, so that people are without excuse.

19 Now we know that whatever the law says applies to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.
27 A religion that is pure and stainless in the sight of God the Father is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.12 It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world
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 our struggle is not against a human opponent, but against rulers, against authorities, against cosmic powers in the darkness around us, against evil spiritual forces in the heavenly realm.
8 See to it that no one enslaves you through philosophy and empty deceit according to human tradition, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.
3 Of course, we are living in the flesh, but we do not fight in a fleshly way.
12 Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.
20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn't he?21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God decided through the nonsense of our preaching to save those who believe.
27 But God chose what is nonsense in the world to make the wise feel ashamed. God chose what is weak in the world to make the strong feel ashamed.
28 And God chose what is insignificant in the world, what is despised, what is nothing, in order to destroy what is something,29 so that no human being may boast in God's presence.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any of you thinks he is wise in the ways of this world, he must become a fool to become really wise.
7 For we did not bring anything into the world, and surely we cannot take anything out of it.8 So as long as we have food and clothes, we will be satisfied with these.

Pertencemos a Deus
Do Senhor é a terra e tudo o que nela existe. Vivemos neste mundo como peregrinos, desejando a pátria celestial.
9 This was the true light that enlightens every person by his coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him. Yet the world did not recognize him.

12 Later on 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."
27 My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me.28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
7 However, I am telling you the truth. It is for your advantage that I am going away, for if I do not go away the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.8 When he comes, he will convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment—9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;11 and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
4 Through these he has given us his precious and wonderful promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, seeing that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world caused by evil desires.
3 First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us4 by saying, "What happened to his promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation."5 But they deliberately ignore the fact that long ago the heavens existed and the earth was formed by God's word out of water and with water,6 by which the world at that time was deluged with water and destroyed.7 Now by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire and are being kept for the day when ungodly people will be judged and destroyed.
10 For having sorrow in a godly way results in repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regrets. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
13 So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
19 We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one.
31 Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear."
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today—and forever!
50 But when Jesus heard this, he told the synagogue leader,"Stop being afraid! Just believe, and she will get well."
17 For if, through one man, death ruled because of that man's offense, how much more will those who receive such overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness rule in life because of one man, Jesus Christ!
