1 Corinthians 6:3-10

3You know that we will judge the angels one day. So we must be able to decide about ordinary things here on earth.

4If you want to decide an ordinary matter like that, what do you do? Sometimes you go to a judge who does not believe in God. You should never do that! The church does not respect people like that.

5I say this so that you will feel ashamed. There is surely a wise person in your group who could decide quarrels between yourselves.

6But instead, some believers among you accuse other believers in front of judges. And those judges are not believers!

7When you accuse each other like that, it shows that you have already failed. It would be better to accept it when other people hurt you. Even if people rob you, it would be better to accept it.

8Instead, you yourselves hurt other people, and you even rob them. And those other people are believers like you!

9People who do wrong things like that will never belong to God's kingdom. You surely know that. Do not think that people like this will receive God's good things: People who have sex in wrong ways. People who worship idols. People who have sex with anyone that they are not married to. Men who have sex with other men.

10People who rob other people. People who want many things for themselves. Drunks. People who insult other people. People who deceive other people to take things from them. None of these people will receive the good things of God's kingdom.
