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, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.
15 Do not love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him.16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not the Father's, but is the world's.
17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but he who does God's will remains forever.
4 You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself 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 one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

19 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.
2 And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
1 Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause 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 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."
33 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."
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: our faith.
5 Who is he who 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 greater is he who is in you 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. The world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.
15 I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one.16 They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.17 Sanctify them in the truth. Your word is truth.18 As you sent me into the world, even so I have sent them into the world.
25 Righteous Father, the world hasn't known you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me.26 I made known to them your name, and will make it known; 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 prince of this world will be cast out.
27 Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
18 If the world hates you, you know that it has 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, since I chose you out of the world, therefore 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 has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
14 This Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.
26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
26 For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
7 "Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks. For there will always be something to cause people to stumble, but woe to the person through whom the stumbling block comes!
15 He said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.
15 He said to them, "Go into all the world, and proclaim the Good News to the whole creation.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit 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, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divine nature; that they may be without excuse.

19 Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,12 instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would 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 our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of this darkness, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
8 Be careful that you do not let anyone rob you through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh;
12 But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, that we might know the things that were freely given to us by God.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the Law scholar of this world? Hasn't God made foolish the wisdom of this world?21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the proclaiming to save those who believe.
27 but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
28 and God chose the lowly things of the world, and the things that are despised, and the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:29 that no flesh should boast before God.
18 Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
7 For we brought nothing into the world, so neither can we carry anything out.8 But having food and clothing, we will 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.
1 A Psalm by David.The earth is the Lord's, with its fullness;the world, and those who dwell therein.2 For he has founded it on the seas,and established it on the floods.
11 The heavens are yours.The earth also is yours;the world and its fullness.You have founded them.
19 Oh how great is your goodness,which you have laid up for those who fear you,which you have worked for those who take refuge in you,before the sons of men!
7 But the Lord reigns forever.He has prepared his throne for judgment.8 He will judge the world in righteousness.He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.VAV
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not recognize him.
12 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."
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor won't come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.8 When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgment;9 about sin, because they do not believe in me;10 about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you won't see me any more;11 about judgment, because the prince of this world has been judged.
4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking and walking after their own lusts,4 and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."5 For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.7 But the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
10 For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.
13 Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.
4 One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns around to the north. It turns around continually as it goes, and the wind returns again to its courses.7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, "Do not be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed."
17 For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
25 Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper by his influence, and he shall be great in his own mind, and without warning he shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be shattered, but not by human hands.
