# I have given them your word "I have spoken your message to them" # the world ... because they are not of the world ... I am not of the world Here "the "world" is a metonym that refers to the people who oppose God. Alternate translation: "the people who oppose you ... because they do not belong to those who do not believe ... I do not belong to them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
