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 that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man 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 proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
17 and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God abides forever.
4 You adulteresses, do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity to God? Whoever, then, desires to be a friend of the world, makes himself and 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 trusts in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

19 And this is the condemnation, that Light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has given us in allowing us to be called "Children of God!" And that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize 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 "I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."
33 "I have said all this to you that in me you might have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but be courageous; I have overcome the world."
4 For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.
4 For whoever is a child of God is overcoming the world; and our faith is the victory that has overcome the world.
5 And who it the one that is overcoming the world if not the man who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 My little children, you are of God and have conquered them; because he that is within you is greater than he that 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.
16 missing fehlt/missing18 "As thou hast sent me into the world, even so I also have sent them into the world.
25 "O righteous Father, though the world knew thee not, I have known thee, and these have known that though didst send me.26 "And I have declared - and will declare - thy name unto them, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
31 Now is a judgment of this world; now will the ruler of this world be driven out.
27 "Peace I leave with you. My own peace I give to you. It is not the worlds Peace I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
18 "do not forget that it hated me first.19 "If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, for that reason 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 lose its savor, in what way shall it be salted? It is henceforth good for nothing but to be thrown out and trodden under foot of men.14 "You are the light of the world. A city built on a hilltop cannot be hid;
14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be proclaimed throughout the whole inhabited earth, for a testimony to the Gentiles, and then will come the end.
26 What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

7 "Woe unto the world because of such stumbling-blocks! They will surely come, but woe unto each man by whom they come!
15 And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
15 And he said to them. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.
36 For what shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own 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 renewing of your minds, so that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

20 For ever since the creation of the world his invisible nature, even his everlasting power and divinity, has been clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made. So they have no excuse.

19 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
27 and undefiled before our God and Father, to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and ever to keep himself unspotted from the world.

11 "For Gods grace has shined forth bringing salvation to all men12 And schooling us to renounce impiety and evil passions, And to live soberly, righteously, and godly in this 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 our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the despotisms, the empires, the rulers of this present darkness, the spirit-hosts of evil in the heavenly realm.
8 Take care lest any man drag you away captive by his philosophy which is a vain deceit, following the traditions of men and the worlds crude notions, and not Christ.
3 Though I do walk on the low level of the flesh, I do not make war as the flesh does;
12 But we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes forth from God, that we may realize the blessings freely given us by God.
20 Sage, rabbi, skeptic of this present age - where are they all? Has not God made foolish the philosophy of the world?21 For when, in the wisdom of God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, the world by its philosophy knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of preaching, to save those who believe.
27 No, God has chosen the worlds folly to confound its philosophy; and the worlds weakness to confound its strength.
28 The worlds base things has God chosen, and the things that are not, to bring to naught the things that are;29 so that no mortal man should glory in his presence.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If any one of you supposes that he is wise in the philosophy of the present age, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.
7 for we have brought nothing into the world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out!8 So if we have food and shelter, let us be content with that.

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, which enlightens every man, was then coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and through him the world came into being, yet the world knew him not.
10 He was in the world, and through him the world came into being, yet the world knew him not.
12 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."
27 "My sheep listen to my voice, and I know them and they follow me.28 "I am giving them eternal life, and they shall never perish, nor shall any one snatch them out of my hand.
7 "Yet - I am telling you the truth - my going is for your good. For unless I go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart I will send him unto you.8 "And he, when he comes, will convict the world of sins and of righteousness and of judgment;9 "of sin, because they do not believe in me;11 "because the Prince of this world has been judged.
4 By these he has granted his promises to us, precious and splendid; so that through them you may become partners of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
3 Know this first, that mockers will come in the last days, in their mockery, men who walk the way of their own lusts4 and say, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the day that our fathers fell asleep everything continues as it was from the beginning of the creation."5 For they willingly ignore the fact that there were heaven, from of old, and an earth formed out of water and through water, by the word of God;6 and that by the same means the world which then existed was destroyed by a deluge of water.7 But the heavens and earth that now are, by the same word of God, have been reserved for fire, and are being kept for the Day of Judgment, and for the destruction of ungodly men.
10 For your pain came from God, and so you took no harm from me. For the pain which is from God works repentance leading to salvation, a repentance never to be regretted. But the worlds pain works death.
13 Do not wonder, brothers, if the world continues to hate you.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world is lying in the Evil One.
31 Earth and sky shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
50 But Jesus heard and answered. "Have no fear. Only believe, and she shall be restored."
17 For if through the transgression of the one, death reigned as king through the one, much more shall those who receive the overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in life through One, through Jesus Christ.
