1 | Where is in the world not of the world | John 17:11 | 483 | |||
I've often heard or been taught that we're to be in the world but not of the world. I've searched the scripture using -in the world- and -of the world- but cannot find that reference in any of eight different translations. Can you help? Thanks. |

There are three Greek words translated "world" in the KJV. They are words that mean: 1) the age; 2) the world system of things; and 3) the planet earth. I will leave it to HeirofGod to answer the rest of your question. --JVH0212 | ||||||

In all three of the verses in the question, the Greek word kosmos is used. The root meaning of this word is that of order as opposed to chaos. From this word we get our English words cosmetics, cosmos and cosmic. Kosmos has a variety of meanings in the NT and John uses it in several ways. You need to study the context to determine which particular meaning is intended. In 3:16, kosmos refers to mankind in general. In other words, John is saying the Christ dies for all men. In the other two verses (John 15:19 and 17:11ff), kosmos refers to the world system that is in opposition to God. -Mark McIntyre |
