What does 凡被 mean in the phrase "凡被造的”?

I don't think it's a phrase... 凡被造的 perhaps means "all that was created". 凡 as an Adv. means "all", 被+Verb is passive voice. So were 凡被 a word, it couldn't have any meaning. (Well maybe 凡被is a name of person, a funny name without meanings... 凡被造的 could mean "something that 凡被 creates")

Christi, it is always more helpful to yourself and the mentors here if you quote the context. It seems to me that you have taken a quote from the Bible. 约翰福音1:3 "万 物 是 藉 着 他 造 的 ; 凡 被 造 的 , 没 有 一 样 不 是 藉 着 他 造 的 。" The English version is this. John 1:3, "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made." "凡"是"所有的", 即"all"的意思。 楼上Elijah说得对, "凡被造的"是"all that was created"的意思。"被造"就是passive voice。 你可能老早已经看过英文版了。

凡 is short for 凡是, which means without exception; as long as; in every case. 凡被 is not a phrase. 被造的 is a phrase, which means be made.

where is it taken from?

凡:any 被造的:some thing created by some people 凡被造的...: any ... created by some people... e.g. 凡被(我们)造的(机器),都是要卖给google公司的。 Any machine created by us gonna be sold to Google. if you definitely know that the listener know what you are talking about, you can omit "some people" and "some thing". Here "some people" is "我们“ and "some thing" is 机器.
