What does the Bible say about the present evil world?

The Apostle Paul, in Galatians 1:4, characterizes the current age as a 'present evil world' from which Christ delivered us. This world is marked by sin, sorrow, and decay, as echoed in Job 14:1, 'Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble.' The temporal nature of this world stands in stark contrast to the eternal life and joy promised to believers in Christ. Everything associated with this present world is transient and ultimately leads to death, making it imperative for Christians to fix their hope on the world to come, which is everlasting and devoid of evil.
