1 Corinthians 5:10

²⁷But if one of those who don’t believe invites you to a meal, and you are inclined to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.

¹⁵I pray not that you would take them from the world, but that you would keep them from the evil one. ¹⁶They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

²in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

²⁰Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Hasn’t God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

²³He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

¹⁹We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

¹⁴“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. ¹⁵Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. ¹⁶Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

¹⁵that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without defect in the middle of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁹If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, since I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

⁵They are of the world. Therefore they speak of the world, and the world hears them.
