The Greek in the Gospel of John and 1 John that is translated as «world» in English is translated as «all the people who sleep in all the places of the earth» in Samo (source: Shaw / Van Engen 2003, p. 178), as «world people» in Lisu (source: Cooke 1947, p. 29), and as «people (of the world)» (shìrén / 世人) in Protestant Mandarin Chinese Bible translations.

For the Chinese translation of «world» outside these two books see world (Chinese).
