I came across this website that has a list of meanings for
kosmos, which include under 8b, "of believers only." See:
https://mikejeshurun.wordpress.com/2013/10/12/a-w-pink-on-the-world-of-john-316/I see two problems here; the first minor, the second major:
First, assuming the definition is correct, why would anyone cite "1 Cor 4:9" as an example of
kosmos referring to believers? That doesn't make sense to me.
Second, and more important, what other reliable and scholarly language resource has "of believers only" as a definition for
kosmos, and citing John 3:16?
Thanks!
