"Renew" in the Bible: Romans 12:2
When God saves us from sin, He doesn't just want to see an outward change in us. He wants to see a complete inner transformation of the way we think. We are called to renew our minds, casting off our old ways of thinking and rejecting the world's wisdom.

Of the world - a Christian perspective
It's natural that the sinful world will hate and persecute Christians--it recognizes that it has no hold over them, and it hates them for it. Christians can expect to be rejected by a world that operates under radically different values than their own.
