20 Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn't he?

13 "You are the salt of the world. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty again? It's good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled on by people.
14 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
12 Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God.

9 of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 of righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see me;
11 and of judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
31 Now is the time for the judgment of this world to begin.Now will the ruler of this world be thrown out.
19 And this is the basis for judgment: The light has come into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light because their actions were evil.
14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them, for they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.
11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

16 For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.
27 I am leaving peace with you. I am giving you my own peace. I am not giving it to you as the world gives. So do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.
16 For everything that is in the world—the desire for fleshly gratification, the desire for possessions, and worldly arrogance—is not from the Father but is from the world.
2 It is he who is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world's.
