righteous.”
9. Rom 11:12-15, “Now if their transgression be riches for the world and their failure be riches for the Gentiles,
how much more will their fulfillment be! But I am speaking to you who are Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an
apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my ministry, if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and
save some of them. For if their rejection be the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but
life from the dead?”
10. 2 Cor 5:18-19, “Now all these things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ, and gave us
the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting
their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.”
11. 1 Tim 2:5-6, “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who
gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony borne at the proper time.”
12. Titus 2:11, “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men…”
13. 1 John 2:1-2, “My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we
have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins;
and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.”
14. 1 John 4:14, “And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the
world.”
Passages that speak of the fallenness and condemnation of the world (see also my notes Jesus on Total
Depravity following Chapter 8):
1. 1 Cor 11:32, “But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord in order that we may not be condemned
along with the world.”
2. Rom 3:9-12, “What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and
Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, ‘There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who
understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless;
There is none who does good, There is not even one.’”
3. Rom 3:19-20, “Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every
mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no
flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.”
4. Eph 2:1-3, “And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, in which you formerly walked according to the
course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the
sons of disobedience. Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of
the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.”
5. Phil 2:14-16, “Do all things without grumbling or disputing; that you may prove yourselves to be blameless
and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom
you appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may have cause to
glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain.”
6. 1 John 2:15-17, “Do not love the world, nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful
pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. And the world is passing away, and also its lusts; but
the one who does the will of God abides forever.
7. 1 John 3:1, “See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God;
and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.”
8. 1 John 3:13, “Do not marvel, brethren, if the world hates you.”
Passages that include both universal and limited considerations:
1. John 1:16, “For of His fulness we have all received, and grace upon grace.”
2. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him
should not perish, but have eternal life.”

forever; and the bread also which I shall give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
4. John 8:12, “Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who follows Me shall
not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.’”
5. John 14:17, “that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or
know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you, and will be in you.”
6. John 15:18-19, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. 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.”
7. John 17:14-18, “I have given them Thy word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world,
