1 | "Be ye in the world but not of it."? | Rom 12:2 | Rainbow Maker | 38576 | ||
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect." These are the words of Paul. Can someone tell me whether Jesus also said something akin to this? For example I recall a verse from the AV which reads " Be ye in the world but not of it." Yet I have put it into several search engines without finding it and there are no cross refferences from Romans to it in my Bible. Where does it come from? Rainbow Maker |

2 | "Be ye in the world but not of it."? | Rom 12:2 | kalos | 38579 | ||
John 17:14-16 (ESV) I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. [15] i do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. [16] They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. John 15:19 (ESV) If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. |

Thankyou, these are what I keep finding too so I think that what I remember is a corruption or abridgement of the verse in Romans I began with. | ||||||
4 | "Be ye in the world but not of it."? | Rom 12:2 | kalos | 38610 | ||
Here is what I think I remember about that phrase. Last night, as I searched in vain for a Bible verse that said "in the world, not of the world," something occurred to me. I think maybe years ago, I read a heading in a study Bible (not part of the text) that said "In the world, but not of the world." I, too, thought that exact phrase was in the text of the Bible, but I sure couldn't find it. | ||||||
