Here is the bottom line difference between believers and the world. It isn't always lifestyle. The people of the world showed unusual kindness, made them welcome (v2), entertained them courteously (v7). To be honest the church today can sometimes learn from the men of this world. Yet here we also see the brethren loving as they meet Paul (v14-15). The difference in the end is theological. The men of this world are hopelessly dark, creating a "god" for every inexplicable situation (v5-6). But the believer knows only one God and Lord: Jesus Christ. Nice men without Christ go to hell without Christ.
