What does the Bible say about believers being at odds with the world?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes believers as pilgrims and strangers, emphasizing their conflict with the world and the enmity of friendship with it.

In 2 Corinthians 6, the Apostle Paul discusses the inherent conflict between believers and the world. He identifies believers as pilgrims and sojourners, suggesting that as they understand their identity in Christ, they will increasingly find themselves at odds with worldly values and systems. John further reinforces this idea by stating that friendship with the world constitutes enmity with God. Therefore, Christians must be prepared for opposition due to their faith, and their stance on truth will often conflict with societal norms and beliefs.
