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 one 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 one love 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 eye, and the pride 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 eye, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the desire thereof; but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever.
4 Ye adulterers and adultresses, know ye not, that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Whosoever therefore desireth to be a friend of the 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 God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him, may not perish, but have everlasting 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 not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the Sons of God; therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

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 spoken these things to you, that ye may have peace in me. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but take courage: I have overcome the world.
33 I have spoken these things to you, that ye may have peace in me. In the world ye shall have tribulation; but take courage: I have overcome the world.
4 For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
4 For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
4 Ye are of God, beloved children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you, 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.
14 I have given them thy word, and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I do not pray, that thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil one.
15 I do not pray, that thou wouldest take them out of the world, but that thou wouldest keep them from the evil one.16 They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.17 Sanctify them thro' the truth: thy word is truth.18 As thou hast sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.
25 Righteous Father, tho' the world hath not known thee, yet I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.26 And I have declared to them thy name, and will declare it, that the love wherewith thou hast loved me, may be in them, and I in them.
31 Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
18 If the world hate you, ye know it hated me, before it hated you.19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own; but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth 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 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.14 Ye are the light of the world.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached to all the world, for a testimony to all nations: and then shall the end come.
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his soul?
26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give, in exchange for his soul?
7 Wo to the world because of offences: for it must needs be that offences come; but wo to that man by whom the offence cometh.
15 And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
15 And he said to them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own 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 be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.

20 For those things of him which are invisible, both his eternal power and Godhead, are clearly seen from the creation of the world, being understood by the things which are made, so that they are without excuse:

19 Now we know that whatsoever the law saith, it saith to them that are under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world be found guilty before God.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspoted from the world.

11 For the saving grace of God hath appeared to all men,12 Teaching us, that, having renounced ungodliness and all wordly desires, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly 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 we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the world, of the darkness of this age, against wicked spirits in heavenly places.
8 Beware lest any man make a prey of you through philosophy and empty deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of this world, and not after Christ.
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things which are freely given to us of God.
20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world, to shame the wise, and the weak things of the world, to shame the things that are mighty:
28 And the base things of the world, and things that are despised, hath God chosen; yea, things that are not, to bring to nought the things that are; That no flesh may glory before him.29 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who is made by God unto us wisdom,
18 Let none deceive himself: if any one among you thinketh himself to be wise, let him become a fool in this world, that he may become wise.
7 For we brought nothing into the world: it is manifest that neither can we carry any thing out.8 Having then food and covering, 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 This was the true light, who lighteth every man that cometh into the world.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 Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand.
7 But I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go: for if I go not, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you.8 And he coming will convince the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;10 Of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye see me no more;11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
4 By which he hath given us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these, having escaped the corruption which is in the world thro' desire, ye may become partakers of the divine nature:
3 that there will come scoffers in the last days,4 walking after their own desires, Saying, Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.5 For this they are willingly ignorant of, that by the word of God of old the heavens were and the earth, standing out of the water and in the water,6 Thro' which the world that then was, being overflowed with water perished.7 But the heavens and the earth that are now, are by his word kept in store reserved unto fire, against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation not to be repented of, whereas the sorrow of the world worketh death.
13 And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
19 but he that is born of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not. We know, that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the wicked one.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall in no wise pass away.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to day and for ever.
50 Jesus hearing it answered him, saying, Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole.
17 For if through one man's offence death reigned by one, they who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness, shall much more reign in life, by one, even Jesus Christ.
