The World
R. S. Candlish, D.D. Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good… is fallen human nature acting itself out in the human family; moulding and fashioning the framework of human society in accordance with its own tendencies. It is fallen human nature making the ongoings of human thought, feeling, and action its own. It is the reign or kingdom of the carnal mind, which is enmity against God. Wherever that mind prevails, there is the world. (R. S. Candlish, D.D.)
