Reas. From Christs victory over the world, Rom. 8.37. It is through him that loved us. Christ hath overcome the world, John 16. ult. Therefore I am to wrestle but with a wounded, pinioned enemy, Christ having led captivity captive, I come but to contend with a captive world, and so I overcome through Christ that hath loved me. It's the death of Christ that hath crucified the world to me, Gal. 6.14. And therefore I am to fight but with a crucified enemy.

2 From the mighty power of Gods Word abiding in a Christians heart, 1 John 2.14. The commandments of God, and his promises do so rule in his heart, that no flatterings of the world, no commandments of men can oversway him.
