I have overcome the world

Christ overcame the world. Remember what this means by reading the third sermon in Spurgeon's Christ's Glorious Achievements. It is a phrase for the second conscious shock. Intentional suffering. Overcoming the world. You will see it if you read that sermon. It shows how the language of the Work is there in the Bible, you just have to be able to see it. 

For instance, Spurgeon describes non-identifying when he shows how Jesus didn't react in the usual worldly way when people celebrated Him, nor when people reviled Him. He describes Jesus' steadiness. The overall theme is Jesus overcame the world. That phrase captures the second conscious shock.
