In these words also Paul handleth yet more largely the argument of this Epistle. He calleth this whole world, which hath been,1 is and shall be, the present world, to put a difference betwixt this, and that everlasting world which is to come. Moreover he calleth it an evil world, because that whatsoever is in this world, is subject to the malice of the Devil reigning over the whole world.2 For this cause the world is said to be the kingdom of the Devil. For there is nothing else in this world, but ignorance, contempt, blasphemy, and hatred of God. Also disobedience against all the words and works of God. In and under this kingdom of the world are we.
In these words also Paule handleth yet more largely the argument of this Epistle. He calleth this whole world, which hath bene,1 is and shall be, the present vvorld, to put a difference betwixt this, and that euerlasting world which is to come. Moreouer he calleth it an euill world, because that whatsoeuer is in this world, is subiect to the malice of the Deuil raigning ouer the whole world.2 For this cause the world is said to be the kingdome of the Deuill. For there is nothing els in this world, but ignoraunce, contenpt, blasphemy, and hatred of God. Also disobedience against all the words and works of God. In and vnder this kingdome of the world are we.
