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 Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15 Love not the world, neither the things which are in the world. If any one love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 Now the world passes away, and the lust of it; be he who does the will of God, abides forever.
4 Adulterers, and adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Whosoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world, is counted 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 has so loved the world, as to give his own begotten Son, that whosoever believes on him, may not perish, but obtain eternal life.

19 Now this is the ground of condemnation; that light has come into the world, and men have preferred the darkness to the light, because their deeds were evil.
2 And he is a propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
1 Behold how great love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this reason, the world does not know us, 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 will have tribulation. But take 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 will have tribulation. But take courage! I have overcome the world.
4 because, every one that is begotten by God, overcomes the world. And this is the victory which overcomes the world, even our faith.
4 because, every one that is begotten by God, overcomes the world. And this is the victory which overcomes the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because he is greater, who is with you, than he who is with 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 delivered thy word to them, and the world hates them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.
15 I do not pray thee to remove them out of the world, but to preserve them from evil.16 Of the world they are not, as I am not of the world.17 Consecrate them by the truth; thy word is the truth.18 As thou hast made me thy Apostle to the world, I have made them my Apostles to the world.
25 Righteous Father, though the world knows not thee, I know thee; and these know that I have thy commission.26 And to them I have communicated, and will communicate thy name: that I being in them, they may share in the love with which thou lovest me.
31 Now must this world be judged. Now must the prince of this world be cast out.
27 Peace I leave you; my peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Be not disheartened; be not intimidated.
18 If the world hate you, consider that it hated me, before it hated you.19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, I having selected you from the world, 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. If the salt become insipid, how shall its saltness be restored? It is thenceforth fit only to be cast out, and trod under foot.14 You are the light of the world. A city situate on a mountain must be conspicuous.
14 And this gospel of the Reign shall be published through all the world, for the information of all nations. And then shall come the end.
26 What is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life? or what will a man not give in ransom for his life?
26 What is a man profited, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life? or what will a man not give in ransom for his life?
7 Alas for the world because of snares! Snares indeed there must be; nevertheless, alas for the ensnarer!
15 And he said unto them, Go throughout all the world, proclaim the glad tidings to the whole creation.
15 And he said unto them, Go throughout all the world, proclaim the glad tidings to the whole creation.
36 What would it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of 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 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind; that you may approve the will of God, which is good, and acceptable, and perfect.

20 (for his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, since the creation of the world, are very evident; being known by his works:) so that they are inexcusable.

19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and that all the world may be liable to punishment before God.
27 Pure religion, and undefiled, with God, even the Father, is this: To take care of orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.

11 For the favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men;12 teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this 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 we wrestle not with flesh and blood, but with governments, with powers, with the rulers of this darkness: with spiritual wickedness in the heavenly regions.
8 Beware lest any one make a prey of you through an empty and deceitful philosophy, -according to the tradition of men, according to the elements 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 have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, that we might know the things which are gifted to us by God.
20 Where is the wise man? where the scribe? where the disputers of this world? Has not God shown the wisdom of this world to be folly?21 For, when, in the wisdom of God, the world, through wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, through the foolishness of this proclamation, to save them who believe.
27 but God has chosen the foolish of the world to put the wise to shame; and the weak God has chosen to put the strong to shame;
28 the ignoble of the world, and the despised, God has chosen; nay, those that are nothing, to reduce to nothing those that are;29 that not flesh might boast in his presence.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one among you think to be wise in this age, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, and it is evident that we can carry out nothing.8 Wherefore, having food and raiment, with these let us 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 The true light was he who, coming into the world, enlightens every man.10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him; yet the world knew him not.
12 Again Jesus addressed the people, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
27 My sheep, as I told you, obey my voice; I know them, and they follow me.28 Besides, I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any one wrest them out of my hands.
7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth; it is for your good that I depart; for if I do not depart, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go away, I will send him to you.8 And when he is come, he will convince the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:9 concerning sin, because they believe not on me;10 concerning righteousness because I go to my Father, and you see me no longer;11 concerning judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
4 On account of which, the greatest and most precious promises are freely given to us, that by these we might be made partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world, through lust.
3 Knowing this first, that scoffers will come in the last days, walking after their own lusts,4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the time the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as at the beginning of the creation.5 But this willfully escapes them, that, by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth subsisting from the water, and by water:6 by which the world that then was, being deluged with water, perished.7 But the present heavens and the earth, by the same word are treasured up, being kept for fire to a day of judgment, and destruction of ungodly men.
10 For godly sorrow produces a reformation to salvation, never to be repented of; but the sorrow of the world produces death.
13 Do not wonder, my brethren, that the world hates you.
19 We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies under the wicked one.
31 For heaven and earth shall fail: but my words shall not fail.
8 Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, and today, and for ever.
50 Jesus, hearing this, said to Jairus, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be well.
17 For if by the offense of the one, death reigned by the one; much more shall they who receive the abundance of favor, and of the gift of justification, reign in life, by the one-Jesus Christ.)
