There are 3 "worlds " used in the Bible. The first one refers to the globe, earth, planet that we live on Genesis 1 1 the second refers to people, man, humankind, John 3 16 and the other refers to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life 1 John 2 16 . Here we are told not to love the third. God is not telling us to hate the world the planet Earth is our home until we enter Heaven. God is also not telling us to hate the people who God created. What God is saying is that we should hate pride and lust. The evil sinful systems of this world Romans 12 2 tells us to be not conformed any longer to the pattern of this world pride, lust, evil but to renew our minds to cleanse our minds of evil by the word of God....Thank you
