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 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
15 Don't love the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16 For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
16 For all that is in the world, the desire of the flesh and the desire of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passes away, and its desire: but he who does the will of God stays forever.
4 You{} adulteresses, don't you{} know that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore would 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 only begotten Son, that whoever believes on him should not perish, but have eternal life.

19 And 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 propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.
1 Look at what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world doesn't 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{} have tribulation: but be of good cheer; 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 be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
4 For whatever is begotten of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, [even] our faith.
4 For whatever is begotten of God overcomes the world: and this is the victory that has overcome the world, [even] our faith.
5 And who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 You{} are of God, [my] 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; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I don't pray that you should take them from the world, but that you should keep them from the evil [one].
15 I don't pray that you should take them from the world, but that you should 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 sent them into the world.
25 O righteous Father, the world didn't know you, but I knew you; and these knew that you sent me;26 and 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 will the prince of this world be cast out.
27 Peace I leave with you{}; my peace I give to you{}: not as the world gives, I give to you{}. Don't let your{} heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
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, but 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 And Jesus withdrew from there: and great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and [from] beyond the Jordan followed him.14 And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought to him all who were sick, held with diverse diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.
14 And you{} will be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved.
26 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken through.

7 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
36 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit 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 don't be fashioned according to this age: but be transformed by the renewing of your{} mind, that you{} may prove what the will of God is--that [which is] good and acceptable and perfect.

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 divinity; 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 stopped, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God:
27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, [and] to keep oneself unspotted from 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 desires, we should live soberly and 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 principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].
8 Take heed lest there will be anyone who makes spoil of you{} through his philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not 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 of God.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?21 For seeing that in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom didn't know God, it was God's good pleasure through the foolishness of the preaching 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; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
28 and the base things of the world, and the things that are despised, God chose, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are:29 that no flesh should glory before God.
18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinks that he is wise among you{} in this age, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.
7 for we brought nothing into the world, neither can we carry anything out;8 but having food and covering we will be content with this.

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 of David. The earth is Yahweh's, and the fullness of it; The world, and those who dwell in it.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 the fullness of it, you have founded them.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, Which you have laid up for those who fear you, Which you have wrought for those who take refuge in you, Before the sons of man!
7 But Yahweh sits [as king] forever: He has prepared his throne for judgment;8 And he will judge the world in righteousness, He will judge the peoples in uprightness.
9 There was the true light, which lights every man, coming into the world.10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, and the world did not know him.
10 He was in the world, and the world came into existence through him, and the world did not know 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 and I give to them eternal life; and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
7 Nevertheless I tell you{} the truth: It is expedient for you{} that I go away; for if I don't go away, the Comforter will not come to you{}; but if I go, I will send him to you{}.8 And he, when he has come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9 of sin, because they do not believe on me;10 of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you{} see me no more;11 of 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 that world by desire.
3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come with mockery, walking after their own desires,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 compacted out of water and amid water, by the word of God;6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed in 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, [a repentance] which brings no regret: but the sorrow of the world works death.
11 And I will punish the world for [their] evil, and the wicked for their iniquity: and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
13 And don't marvel, brothers, if the world hates you{}.
19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in 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 about to the north; it turns about continually in its course, and the wind returns again to its circuits.7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers go, there they go again.
31 Heaven and earth will pass away: but my words will definitely not pass away.
8 Jesus Christ [is] the same yesterday and today, and forever.
50 But Jesus hearing it, answered him, Don't be afraid: only believe, and she will be made whole.
17 For if, by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, [even] Jesus Christ.
25 And through his policy he will cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify himself in his heart, and in [their] security he will destroy many: he will also stand up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken without hand.
