约壹二章十五至十七节和雅各四章四节里的“世界”一辞，原文乃指一种秩序、一种固定的形式、一种有秩序的安排，因此是指（神的对头撒但所设立的）一种有秩序的系统，而不是指地；世界是一个邪恶系统，是撒但系统化的安排：
The Greek word for world in 1 John 2:15-17 and James 4:4 denotes an order, a set form,an orderly arrangement, hence, an ordered system (set up by Satan, the adversary ofGod), not the earth; the world is an evil system arranged systematically by Satan:

一
神造人在地上生活，是为了完成祂的定旨；但神的仇敌撒但为了霸占神所造的人，就借着人堕落的性情，在情欲、宴乐、追求，甚至对食衣住行等生活所需的放纵上，用宗教、文化、教育、工业、商业、娱乐等将人系统起来，在地上形成一个反对神的世界系统。
God created man to live on the earth for the fulfillment of His purpose, but His enemy, Satan,in order to usurp the God-created man, formed an anti-God world system on this earth bysystematizing men with religion, culture, education, industry, commerce, entertainment,etc., through men's fallen nature, in their lusts, pleasures, and pursuits, and even in theirindulgence in necessities for their living, such as food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

二
这个属撒但的系统整个卧在那恶者里面（约壹五19，参弗六12）；不爱这样的世界，乃是胜过那恶者的立场（参彼前三3~4，启二12~13上、17）；稍微爱这样的世界，就给那恶者立场击败并霸占我们。
The whole of such a satanic system lies in the evil one (1 John 5:19; cf. Eph. 6:12); not lovingsuch a world is the ground for overcoming the evil one (cf. 1 Pet. 3:3-4; Rev. 2:12-13a, 17);loving it just a little gives the evil one the ground to defeat and occupy us.

三
撒但正利用物质的世界、属世的人、世上的事，将一切至终归一在敌基督的国里；那时，世界的系统要达到其顶点；那时，其中的每一单元都要显明是敌基督的；至终，这世上的国，要成为“我主和祂基督的国”─十一15，帖后二3~12，但二44~45。
Satan is utilizing the material world, the men of the world, and the things that are in theworld to eventually head everything up in the kingdom of Antichrist; at that hour the worldsystem will have reached its zenith, and at that hour every unit of it will be revealed to beanti-Christian; eventually, the kingdom of this world will become "the kingdom of ourLord and of His Christ"—11:15; 2 Thes. 2:3-12; Dan. 2:44-45.

四
撒但把地上一切的事物，特别是那些与人类有关的，以及空中一切的事物，都系统化成为他黑暗的国度，为要霸占人，阻挠人，不让人成就神的定旨，并打岔人对神的享受；世界是撒但的面具，用来迷惑我们，欺骗我们。
All the things on the earth, especially those related to mankind, and all the things in theair have been systematized by Satan into his kingdom of darkness to occupy people andfrustrate them from accomplishing the purpose of God and to distract them from the enjoymentof God; the world is Satan's mask that he uses to deceive us and cheat us.

五
世界抵抗父神，世界上的事，抵抗神的旨意（约壹二15~17）；世界抵抗神，凡爱世界的，就成了神的仇敌（雅四4）。
The world is against God the Father, and the things in the world are against the will ofGod (1 John 2:15-17); the world is against God, and those who love the world are enemiesof God (James 4:4).
The world is against God the Father, and the things in the world are against the will ofGod (1 John 2:15-17); the world is against God, and those who love the world are enemiesof God (James 4:4).
六
“人若爱世界，爱父的心就不在他里面了”（约壹二15）；当我们摸到属世的事物时，我们总要问自己的问题乃是：“这事如何影响我与父神的关系？”
"If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him" (1 John 2:15); ultimately, whenwe touch the things of the world, the question we must ask ourselves always is, "How isthis thing affecting my relationship with the Father?"

七
当主的肉体被钉十字架，而把世界的王撒但赶出去时，这邪恶的体系，黑暗的国度，也就受了审判─约十二31~32，十六11。
This evil system, the kingdom of darkness, was judged when its ruler, Satan, was cast outby the Lord's being crucified in the flesh—John 12:31-32; 16:11.

八
加拉太六章十四节启示，就我们而论，世界已经钉了十字架；就世界而论，我们也已经钉了十字架；这不是直接的，乃是借着钉十字架的基督；十五节的经文证明，这里的世界主要的是指宗教世界（参一3~4）。
Galatians 6:14 reveals that the world has been crucified to us and we to the world; thishas taken place not directly but through Christ, who was crucified; verse 15 proves thatthe world here is mainly the religious world (cf. 1:3-4).

该隐离开神的面之后（创四16），为着保护和自存，就建造了一座城；他在这城里产生了无神的属世文化（17）：
After leaving God's presence (Gen. 4:16), Cain constructed a city for his protection andself-existence; within this city he produced a worldly culture without God (v. 17):

在伊甸园中，神是人的一切─人的保护、维持、供应和娱乐；人失去了神，就失去了一切。
In the garden God was everything to man—his protection, maintenance, supply, and amusement;when man lost God, he lost everything.
