Jn 1:29
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
I know the word world is here, however it means the Chuch, the Body of Christ. See the word world is the greek word kosmos and one of its meanings is:
any aggregate or general collection of particulars of any sort
That definition fitly applies to the church of Christ. The word church means: ekklésia
ek, "out from and to" and 2564 /kaléō, "to call") – properly, people called out from the world and to God, the outcome being the Church (the mystical body of Christ) – i.e. the universal (total) body of believers whom God calls out from the world and into His eternal kingdom.
any gathering or throng of men assembled by chance or tumultuously: Acts 19:32, 41.
See Christ as the Lamb of God Love the church and gave Himself for it Eph 5:25
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
By giving Himself for the Church, He took her sin away !
